Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 vs Radeon HD 5750 512MB
IntroThe GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 has a GPU core clock speed of 550 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 850 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 96 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 5750 512MB, which makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 700 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1150 MHz on this card. It features 720(144x5) SPUs as well as 36 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 5750 512MB should in theory be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 5750 512MB is quite a bit (about 43%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA 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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). 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 potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
