GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which features a clock speed of 1020 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1350 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		4562 points
GeForce GTX 460		2557 points
	Difference: 2005 (78%)

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		60 Watts
GeForce GTX 460		150 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (150%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so in theory they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 750 Ti should be just a bit (about 8%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 460. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		40800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 460		37800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3000 (8%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 Ti is the winner, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750 Ti		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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per 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 video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
