Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 3650 vs Radeon R7 250X 2GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 3650 makes use of a 55 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 725 MHz. The GDDR4 RAM is set to run at a speed of 800 MHz on this model. It features 120(24x5) SPUs along with 8 Texture Address Units and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 250X 2GB, which comes with clock speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 250X 2GB is 181% faster than the Radeon HD 3650 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 250X 2GB should be quite a bit (more or less 590%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 3650. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R7 250X 2GB will be much (approximately 452%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon HD 3650, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (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

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the 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 clock 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 rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
