Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 1GB vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB has core clock speeds of 648 MHz on the GPU, and 1242 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 240 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 928 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1350 MHz on this specific model. It features 768 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB should theoretically perform much faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 Ti should be just a bit (approximately 15%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 285 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 285 1GB is a better choice, by a large margin. (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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core 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 applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
