Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 3650 512MB vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 3650 512MB uses a 55 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 725 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 800 MHz on this particular model. It features 120(24x5) SPUs along with 8 Texture Address Units and 4 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB, which comes with core clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 480 SPUs as well as 24 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon HD 3650 512MB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB will be much (more or less 169%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 3650 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB 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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units 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 in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
