Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 430 1GB vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 430 1GB comes with core speeds of 700 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 96 SPUs along with 16 TAUs and 4 ROPs.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, which comes with GPU clock speed of 928 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 768 Stream Processors, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB should be 200% quicker than the GeForce GT 430 1GB overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB will be a lot (approximately 430%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 430 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is superior to the GeForce GT 430 1GB, by far. (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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock 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 fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
