Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) vs Radeon R9 M375X
IntroThe GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) features a clock speed of 450 MHz and a DDR2 memory frequency of 400 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 80 nm design. It is comprised of 8 SPUs, 4 TAUs, and 2 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 640 Stream Processors, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 M375X will be 1025% quicker than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375X will be a lot (approximately 2156%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM). (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M375X is a better choice, 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
