Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB vs Radeon HD 6770 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB comes with a clock frequency of 550 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 850 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 96 SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon HD 6770 1GB, which comes with a core clock frequency of 900 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1050 MHz. It also features a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 800 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB should in theory be much faster than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB will be a lot (more or less 105%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB should be much (about 227%) better at AA than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB, and also capable of handling 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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past 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, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
