Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition
IntroThe GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB comes with a GPU core speed of 550 MHz, and the 768 MB of GDDR3 RAM runs at 800 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 96 SPUs, 48 Texture Address Units, and 12 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1382 MHz and a HBM2 memory frequency of 1890 MHz. It also makes use of a 2048-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It features 4096 SPUs, 256 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should perform much faster than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon Vega Frontier Edition will be much (approximately 1240%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should be quite a bit (approximately 1240%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB, and able to handle higher 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
