Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 vs Radeon R9 M365X
IntroThe GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 comes with a GPU clock speed of 625 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR3 memory is set to run at 1012 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 48 Stream Processors, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M365X, which features core speeds of 925 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M365X should perform much faster than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M365X is a lot (about 270%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M365X is superior to the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3, and very much so. (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 (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core 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 rate also depends on many 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.
