GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) vs Geforce GTX 760

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Geforce GTX 760, which has core speeds of 980 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1152 SPUs along with 96 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		62080 MB/sec
	Difference: 130176 (210%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 should be a lot (about 126%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92). (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		41600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 52480 (126%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		10400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20960 (202%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
