Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 M265X vs Radeon R9 M370X
IntroThe Radeon R9 M265X makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 575 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1125 MHz on this specific model. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this particular model. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthBoth cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should have the same performance. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M370X will be quite a bit (approximately 39%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M265X. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M370X should be quite a bit (about 39%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M265X, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
