Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti should be 440% faster than the Radeon R7 M260 overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		86400 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 70400 (440%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 246%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M260. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		59392 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260		17160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 42232 (246%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 650 Ti is a lot (about 160%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R7 M260, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		14848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260		5720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9128 (160%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could 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 ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
