Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 M260 vs Radeon RX 470
IntroThe Radeon R7 M260 makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 715 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 470, which has a clock frequency of 926 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1650 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon RX 470 should theoretically be quite a bit better than the Radeon R7 M260 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 470 will be quite a bit (approximately 591%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M260. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 470 is quite a bit (more or less 418%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R7 M260, and able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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 - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
