Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB vs GeForce GTX 1050 3GB
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB comes with a clock speed of 513 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 792 MHz. It also uses a 320-bit memory bus, and uses a 90 nm design. It is comprised of 96 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 20 ROPs.Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB, which features core speeds of 1392 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 3GB should be much (about 171%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is a better choice, and very much so. (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 transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core 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 in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes 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 potential to get to the max fill rate.
