Compare any two graphics cards:

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs Nvidia Titan Xp

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB uses a 14 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1392 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 Texture Address Units and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare that to the Nvidia Titan Xp, which makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1582 MHz. The GDDR5X RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1426 MHz on this particular card. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 TAUs and 96 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
