Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 340 vs Radeon HD 6750
IntroThe GeForce GT 340 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 550 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 850 MHz on this specific card. It features 96 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Radeon HD 6750, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 725 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 720 SPUs along with 36 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 6750 should theoretically be a little bit superior to the GeForce GT 340 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6750 is much (more or less 48%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GT 340. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6750 is the winner, 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
