Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 130 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GT 130 has a GPU core clock speed of 500 MHz, and the 768 MB of DDR2 memory is set to run at 250 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 48 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which comes with a clock frequency of 900 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1026 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It features 192 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 24 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti should theoretically perform a lot faster than the GeForce GT 130 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 140%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 550 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 170%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 130, and also should be capable of handling 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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
