Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 5750 1GB vs Radeon R9 390X 8G
IntroThe Radeon HD 5750 1GB makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 700 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1150 MHz on this model. It features 720(144x5) SPUs as well as 36 TAUs and 16 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon R9 390X 8G, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1050 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 2816 SPUs as well as 176 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 390X 8G should perform much faster than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 390X 8G should be a lot (about 633%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R9 390X 8G is superior to the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, by a large margin. (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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
