Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 5570 vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 5570 uses a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 650 MHz. The DDR3 memory works at a frequency of 900 MHz on this particular card. It features 400(80x5) SPUs along with 20 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB, which has core clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 480 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB should theoretically be quite a bit better than the Radeon HD 5570 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB is a small bit (approximately 20%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 5570. (explain)
Pixel RateBoth cards have the exact same pixel rate, so in theory they should perform equally good at at anti-aliasing, and be capable of handling the same screen resolutions. (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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it 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 anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
