Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 3650 512MB vs Radeon R9 M395X
IntroThe Radeon HD 3650 512MB has a clock frequency of 725 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 800 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 55 nm design. It features 120(24x5) SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M395X, which has core speeds of 723 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M395X should be much faster than the Radeon HD 3650 512MB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M395X should be quite a bit (approximately 1496%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 3650 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M395X 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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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 memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
