Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs Geforce GTX 680
IntroThe GeForce GTX 660 Ti comes with a clock frequency of 915 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1344 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 24 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Geforce GTX 680, which comes with GPU core speed of 1006 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1502 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 1536 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Geforce GTX 680 should in theory be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 680 is a lot (approximately 26%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 680 is superior to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
