Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB vs Radeon R7 250
IntroThe Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this card. It features 480 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon R7 250, which has GPU clock speed of 1000 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1150 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R7 250 should in theory perform a bit faster than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 250 will be a lot (approximately 25%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R7 250 should be quite a bit (about 25%) more effective at AA than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at 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 video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
