Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 450 (OEM) vs GeForce GTS 450 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 450 (OEM) features a core clock speed of 790 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also features a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 144 SPUs, 24 Texture Address Units, and 24 ROPs.Compare that to the GeForce GTS 450 1GB, which comes with core speeds of 783 MHz on the GPU, and 902 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 192 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GT 450 (OEM) should be 66% faster than the GeForce GTS 450 1GB overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTS 450 1GB is a lot (about 32%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 450 (OEM). (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GT 450 (OEM) is superior to the GeForce GTS 450 1GB, 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. 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 fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
