Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GT 512MB vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GT 512MB has a clock speed of 600 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 65 nm design. It features 112 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which comes with a clock speed of 928 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1350 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 768 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti should in theory be much better than the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 Ti is much (about 77%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 Ti should be much (approximately 55%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core 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 fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
