Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 vs Radeon R7 M265
IntroThe GeForce GT 220 GDDR3 features a GPU core clock speed of 625 MHz, and the 512 MB of GDDR3 memory is set to run at 1012 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 48 SPUs, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M265, which comes with core clock speeds of 725 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthThe GeForce GT 220 GDDR3, in theory, should be just a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M265 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 M265 will be quite a bit (approximately 74%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M265 is superior to the GeForce GT 220 GDDR3, though only just barely. (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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its 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 the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
