GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare that to the Nvidia Titan X, which makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1417 MHz. The GDDR5X memory works at a speed of 1251 MHz on this card. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 TAUs and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		60 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 190 Watts (317%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Nvidia Titan X should in theory be much better than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM) in general. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 462720 (1607%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is quite a bit (more or less 2734%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 306208 (2734%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is superior to the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 133232 (4758%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, 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 anti-aliasing, HDR 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 calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
