Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 vs Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 comes with a GPU core speed of 550 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM is set to run at 800 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 32 Stream Processors, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB, which makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 750 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 900 MHz on this particular model. It features 160 SPUs along with 8 Texture Address Units and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB is 13% faster than the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 will be quite a bit (approximately 47%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 is a better choice, by far. (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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units 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 fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
