Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 vs GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 has a GPU clock speed of 675 MHz, and the 768 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 900 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 336 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 24 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, which comes with GPU core speed of 928 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1350 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 768 Stream Processors, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform exactly the same. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB will be much (more or less 57%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 460. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 460 is the winner, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units 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 rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
