GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Nvidia Titan X, which comes with a clock speed of 1417 MHz and a GDDR5X memory frequency of 1251 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit bus, and makes use of a 16 nm design. It is made up of 3584 SPUs, 224 Texture Address Units, and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 80 Watts (47%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Nvidia Titan X should in theory be much faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
	Difference: 363264 (283%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be quite a bit (approximately 503%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 264800 (503%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 109728 (417%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
