GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB vs GeForce GTX Titan X

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX Titan X, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 3072 SPUs along with 192 Texture Address Units and 96 ROPs.

GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		54400 MB/sec
	Difference: 281600 (518%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X is quite a bit (about 991%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		192000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 174400 (991%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X is quite a bit (more or less 2082%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 91600 (2082%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
