Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm comes with a GPU core clock speed of 576 MHz, and the 896 MB of GDDR3 RAM runs at 999 MHz through a 448-bit bus. It also is comprised of 216 Stream Processors, 72 TAUs, and 28 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, which has a clock frequency of 650 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 480 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm should in theory be a lot better than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm will be a lot (approximately 166%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 260 216SP 55 nm will be quite a bit (approximately 210%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock 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 one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs 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 also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
