Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 vs GeForce GTX 660 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 810 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1001 MHz on this model. It features 336 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 915 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 1344 SPUs as well as 112 TAUs and 24 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 660 Ti should in theory be just a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 560 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 660 Ti is a lot (more or less 126%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 560. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (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 megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling 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 video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
