Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 470 vs Radeon RX 480 4GB
IntroThe Radeon RX 470 comes with a clock frequency of 926 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1650 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 480 4GB should be 9% faster than the Radeon RX 470 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB will be quite a bit (more or less 36%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 470. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB is a lot (more or less 21%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 470, and also should 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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
