GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs Geforce GTX 760

Intro

Compare all of that to the Geforce GTX 760, which features GPU core speed of 980 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1502 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1152 SPUs, 96 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 163456 (568%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 is quite a bit (about 740%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 82880 (740%)

Pixel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 should be quite a bit (about 1020%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28560 (1020%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
