GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) vs GeForce GTX Titan Black

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX Titan Black, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 889 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2880 SPUs along with 240 TAUs and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		41600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 171760 (413%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black should be a lot (more or less 310%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92), and able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		10400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 32272 (310%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
