GeForce GTX 460 SE vs GeForce GTX 750

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 750, which features core clock speeds of 1020 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 512 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 750		55 Watts
GeForce GTX 460 SE		150 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (173%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 460 SE should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 750 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460 SE		108800 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
	Difference: 28800 (36%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 is a bit (about 5%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 460 SE. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 SE		31200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1440 (5%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 460 SE is superior to the GeForce GTX 750, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460 SE		20800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 4480 (27%)

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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant 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.
