GeForce GTX 465 vs Geforce GTX 760

Intro

Compare those specs to the Geforce GTX 760, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 980 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1502 MHz on this specific model. It features 1152 SPUs along with 96 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 465		26708 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 67372 (252%)

Pixel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 should be a lot (more or less 61%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 465, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 465		19424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11936 (61%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
