Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 M265 vs Radeon R9 M275X
IntroThe Radeon R7 M265 uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 725 MHz. The DDR3 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M275X, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 900 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640 Stream Processors, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon R9 M275X should perform a lot faster than the Radeon R7 M265 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M275X will be much (more or less 107%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M265. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M275X is the winner, 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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result 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, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
