GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs Nvidia Titan X

Intro

Compare that to the Nvidia Titan X, which features core clock speeds of 1417 MHz on the GPU, and 1251 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR5X memory. It features 3584 SPUs as well as 224 Texture Address Units and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		105 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 145 Watts (138%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Nvidia Titan X is 753% quicker than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		57600 MB/sec
	Difference: 433920 (753%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is quite a bit (approximately 845%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		33600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 283808 (845%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Nvidia Titan X is superior to the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB, and very much so. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		9600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 126432 (1317%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

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