Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 580 3GB vs Nvidia Titan X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 580 3GB features core clock speeds of 772 MHz on the GPU, and 1002 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 512 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Nvidia Titan X, which makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1417 MHz. The GDDR5X RAM is set to run at a speed of 1251 MHz on this model. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 TAUs and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Nvidia Titan X should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Nvidia Titan X should be a lot (about 542%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Nvidia Titan X will be much (about 267%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
