Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 340 vs Radeon HD 5750 512MB
IntroThe GeForce GT 340 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 550 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 850 MHz on this specific card. It features 96 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 8 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon HD 5750 512MB, which comes with GPU clock speed of 700 MHz, and 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1150 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 720(144x5) SPUs, 36 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 5750 512MB should in theory be much better than the GeForce GT 340 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 5750 512MB should be a lot (approximately 43%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 340. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 5750 512MB is the winner, 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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units 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 in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
