Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 5750 1GB vs Radeon R9 M280X
IntroThe Radeon HD 5750 1GB comes with a GPU core speed of 700 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 1150 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 720(144x5) Stream Processors, 36 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M280X, which features a GPU core clock speed of 900 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1375 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M280X should be 20% quicker than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M280X will be a lot (more or less 100%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M280X is the winner, 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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
