Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 250X 2GB vs Radeon R9 M395X
IntroThe Radeon R7 250X 2GB has a GPU core speed of 1000 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M395X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 723 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1250 MHz on this particular model. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 M395X should theoretically perform a lot faster than the Radeon R7 250X 2GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M395X should be much (about 131%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 250X 2GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M395X is a lot (about 45%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 250X 2GB, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
