Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 340 1GB vs Radeon HD 5750 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 340 1GB features a core clock frequency of 550 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 850 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 96 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, which has a clock frequency of 700 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1150 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 720(144x5) SPUs, 36 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon HD 5750 1GB is 35% quicker than the GeForce GT 340 1GB overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 5750 1GB will be much (more or less 43%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 340 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 5750 1GB is much (about 155%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 340 1GB, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
