GeForce GT 130 vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, which features a GPU core clock speed of 928 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 768 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 74400 (620%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB will be much (approximately 395%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 47392 (395%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6848 (86%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
