Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 580 vs Radeon HD 5750 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 580 features a clock speed of 772 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1002 MHz. It also features a 384-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 512 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 48 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, which comes with a core clock frequency of 700 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1150 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It is made up of 720(144x5) SPUs, 36 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 580 should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 580 is much (approximately 96%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 580 is a lot (more or less 231%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, and also capable of handling higher 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
