Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 430 vs Radeon HD 5570
IntroThe GeForce GT 430 uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 700 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 900 MHz on this particular card. It features 96 SPUs along with 16 Texture Address Units and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 5570, which comes with a core clock frequency of 650 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 400(80x5) SPUs, 20 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so in theory they should have the same performance. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 5570 will be a little bit (more or less 16%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 430. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 5570 is the winner, by a large margin. (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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses 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 high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
