Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 vs GeForce GTX 275
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 uses a 14 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1354 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 275, which uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 633 MHz. The GDDR3 memory works at a frequency of 1134 MHz on this particular model. It features 240 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 28 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 275 will be 11% faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 is a bit (more or less 7%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 275. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 should be a lot (more or less 144%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 275, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
