Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 4670 512MB vs Radeon HD 6770 1GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 4670 512MB uses a 55 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 750 MHz. The GDDR4/GDDR3/DDR3/DDR2 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1000 MHz on this model. It features 320(64x5) SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6770 1GB, which comes with core clock speeds of 900 MHz on the GPU, and 1050 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 800 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 6770 1GB will be 110% faster than the Radeon HD 4670 512MB overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB will be much (more or less 50%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 4670 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB will be quite a bit (approximately 140%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon HD 4670 512MB, and able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
