Geforce GTX 670 vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare that to the Nvidia Titan X, which uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1417 MHz. The GDDR5X RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1251 MHz on this particular model. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (more or less 210%) more effective at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 670. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 214928 (210%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X will be a lot (about 365%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Geforce GTX 670, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 106752 (365%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
