Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 960
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 features a clock frequency of 1354 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 960, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1127 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 1050 should in theory be a little bit better than the GeForce GTX 960 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 960 should be much (approximately 33%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 is the winner, but not 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
