Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 480 4GB vs Radeon RX 580
IntroThe Radeon RX 480 4GB uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 580, which comes with GPU core speed of 1257 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 580 should theoretically perform a little bit faster than the Radeon RX 480 4GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 580 is just a bit (about 12%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 480 4GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 580 is a better choice, but not by far. (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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per 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 - also called 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 bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
