GeForce GT 340 1GB vs GeForce GTX Titan X

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX Titan X, which has 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 SPUs, 192 TAUs, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan X is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan X		96000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 340 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result 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 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 figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
