Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 230 vs Radeon R7 M360
IntroThe GeForce GT 230 uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 550 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a speed of 800 MHz on this particular model. It features 32 SPUs as well as 16 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M360, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1125 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM running at 1000 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GT 230 should in theory be quite a bit superior to the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 M360 will be a lot (about 207%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 230. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M360 is superior to the GeForce GT 230, 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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount 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 Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
