Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) vs Radeon RX 470
IntroThe Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) uses a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 625 MHz. The GDDR3 memory works at a speed of 800 MHz on this specific model. It features 160 SPUs along with 8 TAUs and 4 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 470, which has a core clock speed of 926 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1650 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 470 should in theory perform a lot faster than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 470 will be quite a bit (about 2271%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM). (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 470 is much (about 1085%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM), and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number 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 the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
