Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon HD 5750 512MB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 810 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1001 MHz on this particular model. It features 336 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 5750 512MB, which comes with core speeds of 700 MHz on the GPU, and 1150 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 720(144x5) SPUs as well as 36 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 560 is 74% quicker than the Radeon HD 5750 512MB overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 should be much (approximately 80%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5750 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 will be much (approximately 131%) better at FSAA than the Radeon HD 5750 512MB, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
