Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 460 SE
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti makes use of a 14 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1290 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 460 SE, which has a GPU core clock speed of 650 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 850 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 288 SPUs, 48 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 460 SE overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is quite a bit (about 98%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 460 SE. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling 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 that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core 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 output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
