Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is a lot (about 2734%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 306208 (2734%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is a lot (more or less 4758%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 133232 (4758%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
