Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 640MB vs GeForce GT 640 DDR3
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 640MB has a clock speed of 513 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 792 MHz. It also uses a 320-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 90 nm design. It is comprised of 96 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 20 ROPs.Compare all of that to the GeForce GT 640 DDR3, which features core speeds of 900 MHz on the GPU, and 1782 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 384 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 640MB should theoretically be just a bit faster than the GeForce GT 640 DDR3 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GT 640 DDR3 should be a little bit (approximately 17%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 640MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GT 640 DDR3 should be a lot (more or less 40%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 640MB, and also capable of handling higher screen 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 across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
