Intro
The GeForce GTX 570 has a core clock frequency of 732 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 950 MHz. It also uses a 320-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It features 480 SPUs, 60 TAUs, and 40 Raster Operation Units.
Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6950 2GB, which uses a 40 nm design. ATi has set the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1250 MHz on this card. It features 1408 SPUs as well as 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
