Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 vs GeForce GT 430 (OEM)
IntroThe GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 has a GPU core clock speed of 625 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM is set to run at 1012 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 48 SPUs, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), which has a core clock speed of 700 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 96 SPUs, 16 TAUs, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 should be 12% faster than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM) in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GT 430 (OEM) is a bit (more or less 12%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 will be a lot (more or less 79%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
