Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6790 vs Radeon R9 390X 8G
IntroThe Radeon HD 6790 makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 840 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1050 MHz on this card. It features 800 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 390X 8G, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1050 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1500 MHz through a 512-bit bus. It also is made up of 2816 Stream Processors, 176 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 390X 8G should in theory perform much faster than the Radeon HD 6790 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 390X 8G is much (approximately 450%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6790. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 390X 8G should be a lot (about 400%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 6790, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it 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 higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video 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 number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
