Geforce GTX 780 vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

The Geforce GTX 780 comes with a core clock frequency of 863 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1502 MHz. It also features a 384-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 2304 SPUs, 192 TAUs, and 48 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Nvidia Titan X, which makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1417 MHz. The GDDR5X RAM runs at a frequency of 1251 MHz on this particular card. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 Texture Address Units and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Nvidia Titan X should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the Geforce GTX 780 in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X 491520 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 780 288384 MB/sec
Difference: 203136 (70%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (more or less 92%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 780. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X 317408 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 780 165696 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 151712 (92%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be much (approximately 228%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Geforce GTX 780, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X 136032 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 780 41424 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 94608 (228%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
