Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 4670 1GB vs Radeon R7 M260X
IntroThe Radeon HD 4670 1GB uses a 55 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 750 MHz. The GDDR4/GDDR3/DDR3/DDR2 RAM runs at a speed of 1100 MHz on this specific card. It features 320(64x5) SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M260X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 825 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 M260X should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon HD 4670 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 4670 1GB will be much (approximately 21%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M260X is superior to the Radeon HD 4670 1GB, though not 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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card 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 processed 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 one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
