GeForce GTX 960M vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Nvidia Titan X, which has GPU core speed of 1417 MHz, and 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory set to run at 1251 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is comprised of 3584 Stream Processors, 224 TAUs, and 96 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 960M		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 427520 (668%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be much (more or less 624%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 960M. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 960M		43840 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 273568 (624%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 960M		17536 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 118496 (676%)

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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one 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 calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
