Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 275 vs GeForce GTX 950
IntroThe GeForce GTX 275 comes with a GPU clock speed of 633 MHz, and the 896 MB of GDDR3 RAM is set to run at 1134 MHz through a 448-bit bus. It also is comprised of 240 SPUs, 80 TAUs, and 28 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 950, which features core clock speeds of 1024 MHz on the GPU, and 1652 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 275 should theoretically be a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 950 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 275 should be a little bit (more or less 3%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 950. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 950 is superior to the GeForce GTX 275, by far. (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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
