GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs GeForce GTX Titan

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1050 3GB uses a 14 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1392 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare that to the GeForce GTX Titan, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 837 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1502 MHz on this model. It features 2688 SPUs as well as 224 TAUs and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan will be a lot (approximately 181%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan 187488 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB 66816 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 120672 (181%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan is just a bit (more or less 20%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan 40176 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB 33408 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 6768 (20%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at 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 can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
