Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs GeForce GTX 660
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 732 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 900 MHz on this card. It features 448 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 40 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 660, which features core clock speeds of 980 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 960 SPUs as well as 80 TAUs and 24 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 660 should be a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 660 is quite a bit (approximately 91%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 is a lot (approximately 24%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 660, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core 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 also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
