GeForce GT 450 (OEM) vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Nvidia Titan X, which features core speeds of 1417 MHz on the GPU, and 1251 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory. It features 3584 SPUs along with 224 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		106 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 144 Watts (136%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Nvidia Titan X should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 450 (OEM) overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 395520 (412%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be much (approximately 1574%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 450 (OEM). (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		18960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 298448 (1574%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is a lot (more or less 617%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GT 450 (OEM), and should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		18960 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 117072 (617%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
