Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB vs Radeon R9 M390X
IntroThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 650 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a speed of 900 MHz on this specific model. It features 480 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M390X, which has core speeds of 723 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 M390X should be 456% quicker than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M390X should be quite a bit (approximately 493%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M390X is a lot (approximately 345%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, and will be capable of handling higher screen 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 maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
