Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 780 Ti will be a lot (more or less 419%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce GTX 780 Ti		210000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 169520 (419%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 780 Ti should be much (more or less 108%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 1030, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 780 Ti		42000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 21760 (108%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 in one second. This number is worked out 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
