Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 310 vs Radeon RX 470 4GB
IntroThe GeForce GT 310 features a core clock frequency of 589 MHz and a DDR2 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 16 SPUs, 8 TAUs, and 4 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 470 4GB, which has a GPU core clock speed of 926 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1650 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 470 4GB should be 1220% faster than the GeForce GT 310 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 470 4GB is quite a bit (approximately 2415%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GT 310. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 470 4GB is a better choice, by a large margin. (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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
