Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 7790 vs Radeon RX 480 4GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 7790 features a GPU clock speed of 1000 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1500 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which comes with core clock speeds of 1120 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 480 4GB should in theory perform a lot faster than the Radeon HD 7790 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB is a lot (about 188%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon HD 7790. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB should be much (approximately 124%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 7790, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core 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 per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 fill rate also depends on lots of 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.
