Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB vs Radeon HD 6750 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB uses a 90 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 513 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 792 MHz on this specific card. It features 96 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 20 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6750 1GB, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 725 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1000 MHz on this card. It features 720 SPUs along with 36 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon HD 6750 1GB should be 1% faster than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6750 1GB will be a little bit (approximately 6%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6750 1GB will be a small bit (approximately 13%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB, and also capable of handling 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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes 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 its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at 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 chip can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant 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.
