Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GT 1GB has a GPU core speed of 600 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM runs at 900 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 112 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB, which has a clock frequency of 750 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 160 SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB should perform a lot faster than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 8800 GT 1GB will be quite a bit (about 460%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB is a better choice, 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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 fill 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 ability to reach the max fill rate.
