Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon HD 5570
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 has a GPU core speed of 732 MHz, and the 1280 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 900 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also features 448 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 40 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon HD 5570, which features a core clock speed of 650 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 400(80x5) SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 should be much faster than the Radeon HD 5570 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 will be a lot (approximately 215%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 5570. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 should be a lot (more or less 463%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 5570, and also should be capable of handling higher 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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 can possibly record to the 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 sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to 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 reach the max fill rate.
