Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 260
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti features a GPU core clock speed of 1290 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 768 Stream Processors, 48 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 260, which makes use of a 65 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 576 MHz. The GDDR3 memory works at a frequency of 999 MHz on this particular card. It features 192 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 28 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 260 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be a lot (approximately 68%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 260. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be quite a bit (about 156%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 260, and able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
