Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 1030 vs GeForce GT 220 GDDR3
IntroThe GeForce GT 1030 comes with core clock speeds of 1265 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 384 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.Compare all of that to the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3, which makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 625 MHz. The GDDR3 memory is set to run at a speed of 1012 MHz on this card. It features 48 SPUs along with 16 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the GeForce GT 1030 should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GT 1030 will be quite a bit (more or less 305%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GT 1030 will be a lot (more or less 305%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3, and also capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 chip can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
