Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs Radeon R7 370 4G
IntroThe GeForce GT 430 (OEM) uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 700 MHz. The GDDR3 memory runs at a frequency of 900 MHz on this model. It features 96 SPUs along with 16 Texture Address Units and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 370 4G, which features clock speeds of 975 MHz on the GPU, and 1400 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon R7 370 4G should in theory be a lot better than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM) in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 370 4G should be a lot (more or less 457%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 4G is a better choice, by a large margin. (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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
