Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 465 vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448
IntroThe GeForce GTX 465 has a clock frequency of 607 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 802 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 352 SPUs, 44 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448, which features a clock speed of 732 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also features a 320-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 448 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 40 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 should theoretically perform much faster than the GeForce GTX 465 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 will be a lot (more or less 53%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 465. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 is the winner, by far. (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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure 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 video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
