Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 370 2G vs Radeon R9 390 8G
IntroThe Radeon R7 370 2G uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 975 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1400 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 390 8G, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this specific model. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon R9 390 8G should in theory be much better than the Radeon R7 370 2G in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 390 8G should be a lot (more or less 156%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 370 2G. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 390 8G is superior to the Radeon R7 370 2G, by far. (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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per 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 - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
