Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 250 1GB vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTS 250 1GB makes use of a 65/55 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 738 MHz. The GDDR3 memory runs at a speed of 1100 MHz on this particular card. It features 128 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, which features a core clock speed of 928 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1350 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 768 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is 23% quicker than the GeForce GTS 250 1GB in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB is quite a bit (about 26%) better at AF than the GeForce GTS 250 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB will be much (approximately 26%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTS 250 1GB, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock 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 is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
