Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 660 vs Nvidia Titan X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 660 features a clock frequency of 980 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1502 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 960 SPUs, 80 TAUs, and 24 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Nvidia Titan X, which uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1417 MHz. The GDDR5X RAM works at a speed of 1251 MHz on this particular card. It features 3584 SPUs as well as 224 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Nvidia Titan X should theoretically be a lot superior to the GeForce GTX 660 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Nvidia Titan X should be quite a bit (about 305%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 660. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is the winner, by a large margin. (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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
