Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti features core speeds of 1290 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm, which comes with core speeds of 576 MHz on the GPU, and 999 MHz on the 896 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 216 SPUs as well as 72 TAUs and 28 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti should be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is quite a bit (about 49%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is much (more or less 156%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied 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 higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
