Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9800 GTX vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 9800 GTX has core speeds of 675 MHz on the GPU, and 1100 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 128 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 650 MHz. The GDDR3 memory works at a speed of 900 MHz on this particular model. It features 480 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce 9800 GTX should in theory be much faster than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 9800 GTX should be a lot (approximately 177%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce 9800 GTX is superior to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, by far. (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 transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
