GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

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

GeForce GTX 460 (OEM)		108800 MB/sec
	Difference: 382720 (352%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be quite a bit (more or less 772%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 460 (OEM). (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 (OEM)		36400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 281008 (772%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is the winner, by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 460 (OEM)		20800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 115232 (554%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
