Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9800 GT 1GB vs GeForce 9800 GTX+
IntroThe GeForce 9800 GT 1GB features clock speeds of 600 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 112 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce 9800 GTX+, which uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 738 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 1100 MHz on this particular card. It features 128 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce 9800 GTX+ should be 22% quicker than the GeForce 9800 GT 1GB overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 9800 GTX+ will be a lot (more or less 41%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 9800 GT 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce 9800 GTX+ is quite a bit (more or less 23%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 9800 GT 1GB, and also should be 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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics 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 Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
