Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 340 vs Radeon HD 6450 (OEM)
IntroThe GeForce GT 340 features clock speeds of 550 MHz on the GPU, and 850 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 96 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM), which makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 625 MHz. The GDDR3 memory runs at a speed of 800 MHz on this specific model. It features 160 SPUs along with 8 Texture Address Units and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GT 340, in theory, should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GT 340 should be quite a bit (more or less 252%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM). (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GT 340 is superior to the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM), and very much so. (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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
