Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce GTX 970
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1070 features a clock frequency of 1506 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It is made up of 1920 SPUs, 120 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 970, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1050 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 1664 SPUs along with 104 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 1070 should theoretically be a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 970 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1070 will be quite a bit (more or less 65%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 970. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1070 is a lot (about 43%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 970, and will be capable of handling 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 megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.

1070 ofc better card here! Found a cheap used 1070, will be replacing my 970
