Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs GeForce GTX 660 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 3GB makes use of a 14 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1392 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, which comes with a core clock speed of 915 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 1344 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 24 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 660 Ti should theoretically be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 660 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 53%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is the winner, 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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum 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 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 processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
