Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 570 vs Geforce GTX 680
IntroThe GeForce GTX 570 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 732 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 950 MHz on this specific card. It features 480 SPUs as well as 60 Texture Address Units and 40 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Geforce GTX 680, which comes with a clock speed of 1006 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1502 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 1536 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Geforce GTX 680 should in theory be much better than the GeForce GTX 570 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 680 will be much (about 193%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 570. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Geforce GTX 680 is a small bit (more or less 10%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 570, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This 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 graphics 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 most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
