Geforce GTX 670 vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Nvidia Titan X, which features GPU core speed of 1417 MHz, and 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory set to run at 1251 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 3584 Stream Processors, 224 Texture Address Units, and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Geforce GTX 670		170 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 80 Watts (47%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan X should theoretically be much faster than the Geforce GTX 670 in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 670		192000 MB/sec
	Difference: 299520 (156%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be quite a bit (more or less 210%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 670. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 214928 (210%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 106752 (365%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
