GeForce GTX 285 1GB vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Intro
The GeForce GTX 285 1GB uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 648 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 1242 MHz on this specific card. It features 240 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which has clock speeds of 822 MHz on the GPU, and 1002 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 384 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write 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 clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

I build my own computers for me and my family. I also build for other peaple as well for a little xtra cash. When i do my builds i reserch every main component i install.i decided to check into the 200 series video cards to se how far the 400 and 500 series have advanced.Much to my surprise i did not find much diference. It seems to me the 285 overall is better then the 560 and the 285 matches up very well against the 560 firmi.I am building 2 new machines at the moment, 1 for me 1 for my son. I plan to get a gtx 285 for mine and a 560 firmi for him. this will tell me how closly matched they are.

Troy remember though that the 560 supports directx 11 and opengl v4 - it also performs similar if not slightly better than a 6950. It would be more efficient overall as its a newer core design. Also I hope that your son's and your computer have identical specs for everything aside from graphics... otherwise a fair comparison cannot be pulled...
