Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon HD 4670 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 has a core clock speed of 810 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1001 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 336 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 4670 1GB, which has GPU core speed of 750 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR4/GDDR3/DDR3/DDR2 memory running at 1100 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 320(64x5) SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 560, in theory, should be much faster than the Radeon HD 4670 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 should be much (more or less 89%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 4670 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 will be much (more or less 332%) more effective at AA than the Radeon HD 4670 1GB, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once 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, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out 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 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 number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
