Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB vs Radeon R9 390X 8G
IntroThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB has core clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 480 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 390X 8G, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1050 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1500 MHz through a 512-bit bus. It also is made up of 2816 SPUs, 176 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 390X 8G is 1233% faster than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 390X 8G should be a lot (more or less 1085%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 390X 8G is a better choice, and very much so. (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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
