Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 4830 1GB vs Radeon R9 M375X
IntroThe Radeon HD 4830 1GB features a GPU core clock speed of 575 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR4 RAM runs at 900 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 640(128x5) Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M375X should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon HD 4830 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375X is quite a bit (about 121%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 4830 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M375X 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
