Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 480 vs Geforce GTX 680
IntroThe GeForce GTX 480 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 700 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 924 MHz on this specific model. It features 480 SPUs as well as 60 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Geforce GTX 680, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1006 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1502 MHz on this particular card. It features 1536 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Geforce GTX 680 should in theory be a bit better than the GeForce GTX 480 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 680 should be quite a bit (about 207%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 480. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 480 will be a bit (about 4%) better at anti-aliasing than the Geforce GTX 680, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure 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 output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
