GeForce GTX 570 vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare all that to the Nvidia Titan X, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1417 MHz, and 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory running at 1251 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 3584 SPUs, 224 Texture Address Units, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 273488 (623%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (more or less 365%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX 570, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
