GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Geforce GTX 760

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Geforce GTX 760, which comes with core clock speeds of 980 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1152 SPUs along with 96 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		120 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (42%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti should be 53% faster than the Geforce GTX 760 overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
	Difference: 102656 (53%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is much (more or less 53%) better at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 49920 (53%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is superior to the Geforce GTX 760, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 40640 (130%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units 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 the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one 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 - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
