Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce GTX 970
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1070 features core clock speeds of 1506 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1920 SPUs along with 120 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 970, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1050 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1664 Stream Processors, 104 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1070 should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 970 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1070 is a lot (more or less 65%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 970. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1070 is quite a bit (about 43%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 970, and able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock 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 output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.

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