Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 320 vs Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 320 features a GPU core clock speed of 540 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory is set to run at 790 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 72 Stream Processors, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB, which features GPU core speed of 800 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 480 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 320 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB is much (approximately 48%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 320. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB will be quite a bit (about 48%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GT 320, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends 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 maximum fill rate.
