Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce GTX 970
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1070 comes with a core clock speed of 1506 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 2000 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 16 nm design. It is comprised of 1920 SPUs, 120 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.Compare those specs to the GeForce GTX 970, which has a clock frequency of 1050 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1664 SPUs, 104 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 1070 should be a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 970 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1070 will be quite a bit (approximately 65%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 970. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1070 is much (more or less 43%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 970, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must 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 high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to 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 max fill rate.

1070 ofc better card here! Found a cheap used 1070, will be replacing my 970
