GeForce GT 130 vs GeForce GTX Titan Black

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX Titan Black, which features GPU clock speed of 889 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is made up of 2880 Stream Processors, 240 TAUs, and 48 ROPs.

GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 324000 (2700%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black should be a lot (about 1678%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 201360 (1678%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan Black is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 34672 (433%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
