Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6770 1GB vs Radeon R9 M265X
IntroThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1050 MHz on this particular card. It features 800 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M265X, which comes with core speeds of 575 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon R9 M265X should perform just a bit faster than the Radeon HD 6770 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB should be much (approximately 57%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M265X. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6770 1GB is a better choice, and very much so. (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 megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
