Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce GTX 980
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1070 features a GPU core clock speed of 1506 MHz, and the 8192 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1920 Stream Processors, 120 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 980, which features core clock speeds of 1126 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce GTX 1070 should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 980 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1070 will be a lot (approximately 25%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 980. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 is superior to the GeForce GTX 980, 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result 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 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 number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
