GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 750

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 750, which features GPU clock speed of 1020 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1250 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 512 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 460 should be 8% faster than the GeForce GTX 750 in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460		86400 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
	Difference: 6400 (8%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 460 should be a small bit (more or less 16%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 750. (explain)

GeForce GTX 460		37800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 5160 (16%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is superior to the GeForce GTX 460, though not by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 460		16200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 120 (1%)

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 MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. 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 lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
