Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) vs Radeon R7 370 4G
IntroThe Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) features a GPU core speed of 625 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM runs at 800 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 160 SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 370 4G, which features a clock speed of 975 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1400 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1024 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon R7 370 4G should theoretically be quite a bit better than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM) in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 370 4G should be quite a bit (more or less 1148%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM). (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R7 370 4G will be much (about 1148%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 6450 (OEM), and capable of handling higher 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

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better 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 video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units 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 output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
