Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 2GB vs GeForce GTX 960
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 2GB comes with core clock speeds of 648 MHz on the GPU, and 1242 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 240 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 960, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1127 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 285 2GB should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 960 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 960 is much (more or less 39%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 285 2GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 960 will be much (about 74%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 285 2GB, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (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 MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once 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 high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
