Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 580 3GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti comes with clock speeds of 1290 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 580 3GB, which features a core clock frequency of 772 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1002 MHz. It also uses a 384-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It features 512 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 580 3GB should be 68% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 25%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is just a bit (about 11%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core 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 applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
