GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1020 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1350 MHz on this model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		60 Watts
GeForce GTX 460		150 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (150%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti will be a little bit (approximately 8%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460		37800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3000 (8%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti should be a small bit (approximately 1%) better at AA than the GeForce GTX 460, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		16320 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 460		16200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 120 (1%)

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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
