GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare that to the Nvidia Titan X, which has clock speeds of 1417 MHz on the GPU, and 1251 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory. It features 3584 SPUs as well as 224 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
	Difference: 363264 (283%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (more or less 503%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 264800 (503%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is superior to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, by a large margin. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 109728 (417%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
