Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 1030 vs Radeon HD 3650 256MB
IntroThe GeForce GT 1030 makes use of a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1265 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1502 MHz on this particular model. It features 384 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 3650 256MB, which features a clock frequency of 725 MHz and a DDR2 memory frequency of 800 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 55 nm design. It is made up of 120(24x5) SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the GeForce GT 1030 should theoretically be a lot superior to the Radeon HD 3650 256MB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GT 1030 should be much (more or less 598%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 3650 256MB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GT 1030 is the winner, by a large margin. (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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many 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.
