GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR3 vs Nvidia Titan Xp

Intro

Compare those specs to the Nvidia Titan Xp, which has GPU clock speed of 1582 MHz, and 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory running at 1426 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 3840 Stream Processors, 240 Texture Address Units, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR3		25600 MB/sec
	Difference: 535245 (2091%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan Xp should be a lot (about 4215%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR3. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		379680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR3		8800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 370880 (4215%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan Xp is superior to the GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR3, by far. (explain)

Nvidia Titan Xp		151872 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR3		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 147472 (3352%)

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 max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
