Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce GTX 550 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1080 has clock speeds of 1607 MHz on the GPU, and 1251 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5X RAM. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1026 MHz on this specific model. It features 192 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 1080 should be 233% quicker than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1080 is much (about 793%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1080 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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen 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 number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
