GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) vs GeForce GTX 560
Intro
The GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) has clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 850 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 336 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 560, which makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 810 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1001 MHz on this specific model. It features 336 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 32 ROPs.
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Both cards have the same power consumption.Memory Bandwidth
In theory, the GeForce GTX 560 will be 18% quicker than the GeForce GTX 460 (OEM) overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
