Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 430 1GB vs GeForce GTX 465
IntroThe GeForce GT 430 1GB has core speeds of 700 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 96 SPUs along with 16 TAUs and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 465, which uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 607 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 802 MHz on this specific card. It features 352 SPUs as well as 44 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce GTX 465 should perform much faster than the GeForce GT 430 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 465 will be a lot (about 138%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 430 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 465 will be much (more or less 594%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430 1GB, and will be able to handle 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
