Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 470 vs Radeon RX 580
IntroThe Radeon RX 470 makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 926 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1650 MHz on this card. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 580, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1257 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 2000 MHz on this specific model. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 580, in theory, should be a lot faster than the Radeon RX 470 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 580 is much (about 53%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 470. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 580 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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
