Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 370 4G vs Radeon R9 290X
IntroThe Radeon R7 370 4G uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 975 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1400 MHz on this specific card. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 290X, which has a clock speed of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also makes use of a 512-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 2816 SPUs, 176 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 290X, in theory, should perform much faster than the Radeon R7 370 4G overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 290X is much (more or less 126%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 290X is superior to the Radeon R7 370 4G, by far. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes 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 speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
