GeForce GTX 295 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which features GPU clock speed of 1020 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 295 is quite a bit (approximately 126%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. (explain)

GeForce GTX 295		92160 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 51360 (126%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 295 is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 295		32256 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750 Ti		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 15936 (98%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's 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 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
