GeForce GTX 460 SE vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Intro
The GeForce GTX 460 SE comes with a core clock frequency of 650 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 850 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 288 SPUs, 48 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 822 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1002 MHz on this particular card. It features 384 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
