GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce GTX Titan Black

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX Titan Black, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 889 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 2880 SPUs along with 240 TAUs and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan Black		250 Watts
	Difference: 220 Watts (733%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX Titan Black should be a lot faster than the GeForce GT 1030 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		336000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 286848 (584%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black will be quite a bit (approximately 427%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 172880 (427%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan Black is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22432 (111%)

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 transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied 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 higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
