GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) vs GeForce GTX Titan X

Intro

The GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) comes with a core clock frequency of 650 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 850 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It features 336 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX Titan X, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1000 MHz, and 12288 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 3072 Stream Processors, 192 TAUs, and 96 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) 150 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan X 250 Watts
Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX Titan X should in theory be much superior to the GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X 336000 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) 108800 MB/sec
Difference: 227200 (209%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan X is a lot (more or less 427%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 460 (OEM). (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X 192000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) 36400 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 155600 (427%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan X is superior to the GeForce GTX 460 (OEM), and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X 96000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) 20800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 75200 (362%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher 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 number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
