Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 320 vs Radeon HD 6670 (OEM)
IntroThe GeForce GT 320 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 540 MHz. The GDDR3 memory is set to run at a frequency of 790 MHz on this specific card. It features 72 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM), which has core clock speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 480 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) should be 153% faster than the GeForce GT 320 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) will be much (approximately 48%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 320. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) is superior to the GeForce GT 320, by a large margin. (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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
