Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 2GB vs Radeon HD 6670 (OEM)
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 2GB makes use of a 55 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 648 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM works at a speed of 1242 MHz on this particular model. It features 240 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM), which features GPU clock speed of 800 MHz, and 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 480 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 285 2GB, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 285 2GB is much (more or less 170%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM). (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 285 2GB is a better choice, 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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 worked out 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 applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few 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.
