Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 340 1GB vs Radeon RX 550
IntroThe GeForce GT 340 1GB comes with a clock frequency of 550 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 850 MHz. It also features a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 96 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 550, which features a core clock speed of 1100 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also features a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is made up of 512 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 550 should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 340 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 550 should be a lot (about 100%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 340 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 550 is superior to the GeForce GT 340 1GB, 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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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 could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
