Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 380 2G vs Radeon RX 470 4GB
IntroThe Radeon R9 380 2G comes with a GPU core clock speed of 970 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1425 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1792 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 470 4GB, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 926 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1650 MHz on this particular model. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon RX 470 4GB should be a bit faster than the Radeon R9 380 2G overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 470 4GB should be just a bit (about 9%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 380 2G. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 380 2G is a better choice, not by a very large margin though. (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

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of 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 most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
