Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 250 512MB vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTS 250 512MB uses a 65/55 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 738 MHz. The GDDR3 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1100 MHz on this particular model. It features 128 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, which has core clock speeds of 1290 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be 63% quicker than the GeForce GTS 250 512MB in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is quite a bit (approximately 31%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTS 250 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is superior to the GeForce GTS 250 512MB, by a large margin. (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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can 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 ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). 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 ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
