Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce GT 230
IntroThe GeForce GT 1030 has a GPU core clock speed of 1265 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 1502 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GT 230, which features a core clock frequency of 550 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 800 MHz. It also features a 192-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It features 32 SPUs, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GT 1030 will be 28% quicker than the GeForce GT 230 overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GT 1030 should be much (approximately 360%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 230. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GT 1030 is much (about 360%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 230, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
