Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 7950 vs Radeon RX 480 4GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 7950 comes with a GPU core speed of 800 MHz, and the 1536 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1250 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 1792 Stream Processors, 112 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 7950, in theory, should be a small bit faster than the Radeon RX 480 4GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB is quite a bit (approximately 80%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 7950. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 480 4GB is the winner, 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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock 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 in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
