GeForce GTX 470 vs Geforce GTX 760

Intro

The GeForce GTX 470 comes with a core clock frequency of 607 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 837 MHz. It also makes use of a 320-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It features 448 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 40 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Geforce GTX 760, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 980 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1502 MHz on this model. It features 1152 SPUs as well as 96 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
