Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6750 vs Radeon R9 M370X
IntroThe Radeon HD 6750 makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 725 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular card. It features 720 SPUs as well as 36 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which features a GPU core clock speed of 800 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M370X will be 13% faster than the Radeon HD 6750 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M370X is quite a bit (approximately 23%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 6750. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M370X is a better choice, though not 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
