Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB vs GeForce GTX 780 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 550 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 850 MHz on this specific card. It features 96 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 8 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, which has clock speeds of 875 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2880 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti should in theory be much better than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti will be much (about 1093%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is a better choice, 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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units 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 applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
