Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs GeForce GTX 970
IntroThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti comes with core speeds of 875 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2880 SPUs along with 240 TAUs and 48 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 970, which features a core clock speed of 1050 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1664 SPUs, 104 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti, in theory, should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 970 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti is a lot (more or less 92%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 970. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 970 is a better choice, by far. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

2 Responses to “GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs GeForce GTX 970”This comparison is slightly misleading. Maxwell is more efficient than Kepler and so a narrower bus width (256 -bit for Maxwell, 384-bit for Kepler) does not mean Maxwell is objectively slower than its respective Kepler counterpart. A direct (paper spec) comparison will always be significantly misleading in this regard, when comparing Maxwell to previous generations.
@jchap
True, though the comparison does not take architechture differences into account.
In fact, if you look at the benchmarks, it would appear GTX 970 is slightly faster than the 780Ti in most tasks and games.
But it also consumes much less electricity, and costs 50% less.
