Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 has a GPU core clock speed of 550 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 850 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 96 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB, which has a clock speed of 650 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of 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 BandwidthThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB, in theory, should perform a bit faster than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 is just a bit (about 13%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB is a little bit (more or less 18%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5, and able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
