Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB vs GeForce GT 220 GDDR3
IntroThe GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB has core speeds of 550 MHz on the GPU, and 800 MHz on the 768 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 96 SPUs along with 48 Texture Address Units and 12 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3, which has a clock frequency of 625 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 1012 MHz. It also features a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It features 48 SPUs, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB should be a lot (about 164%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB is much (more or less 32%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3, and will be able to handle higher screen 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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
