Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce GTX 285 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 3GB features core clock speeds of 1506 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1152 SPUs as well as 72 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 285 2GB, which comes with a clock frequency of 648 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 1242 MHz. It also features a 512-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 55 nm design. It is made up of 240 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is 24% faster than the GeForce GTX 285 2GB overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 3GB should be quite a bit (about 109%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 285 2GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 3GB will be a lot (about 249%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 285 2GB, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many 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.
