Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB should theoretically be a bit better than the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 in general. (explain)

Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB 28800 MB/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 25600 MB/sec
Difference: 3200 (13%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB will be a lot (about 77%) better at AF than the GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3. (explain)

Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB 15600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 8800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 6800 (77%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB is the winner, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB 5200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR3 4400 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 800 (18%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
