Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 1GB vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB comes with a GPU core clock speed of 648 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM runs at 1242 MHz through a 512-bit bus. It also is made up of 240 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 822 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1002 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 285 1GB should perform much faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be a small bit (approximately 1%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 285 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be a lot (more or less 27%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 285 1GB, and should be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

I build my own computers for me and my family. I also build for other peaple as well for a little xtra cash. When i do my builds i reserch every main component i install.i decided to check into the 200 series video cards to se how far the 400 and 500 series have advanced.Much to my surprise i did not find much diference. It seems to me the 285 overall is better then the 560 and the 285 matches up very well against the 560 firmi.I am building 2 new machines at the moment, 1 for me 1 for my son. I plan to get a gtx 285 for mine and a 560 firmi for him. this will tell me how closly matched they are.

Troy remember though that the 560 supports directx 11 and opengl v4 - it also performs similar if not slightly better than a 6950. It would be more efficient overall as its a newer core design. Also I hope that your son's and your computer have identical specs for everything aside from graphics... otherwise a fair comparison cannot be pulled...
