Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 130		75 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (127%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be 969% quicker than the GeForce GT 130 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 116256 (969%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is much (more or less 338%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 40608 (338%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 229%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GT 130, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 18304 (229%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
