Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 315 vs GeForce GT 430 (OEM)
IntroThe GeForce GT 315 features a GPU core speed of 625 MHz, and the 512 MB of DDR3 memory is set to run at 790 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 48 SPUs, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), which features core clock speeds of 700 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 96 SPUs along with 16 Texture Address Units and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce GT 430 (OEM) should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GT 315 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GT 430 (OEM) is a bit (approximately 12%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 315. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GT 315 is superior to the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), by a large margin. (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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs 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 is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
