Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 130 vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 130 uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 500 MHz. The DDR2 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 250 MHz on this particular card. It features 48 SPUs as well as 24 TAUs and 16 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, which has GPU clock speed of 1506 MHz, and 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1152 SPUs, 72 TAUs, and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB should theoretically be quite a bit better than the GeForce GT 130 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 3GB should be much (about 804%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is the winner, by a large margin. (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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once 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 higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated 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 in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
