Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6850 vs Radeon R9 M365X
IntroThe Radeon HD 6850 makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 775 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1000 MHz on this card. It features 960 SPUs as well as 48 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M365X, which features a GPU core clock speed of 925 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon HD 6850 should perform much faster than the Radeon R9 M365X overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6850 should be a little bit (about 1%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6850 should be quite a bit (more or less 68%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M365X, and should be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 processed in one 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. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
