Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 230 vs Radeon R9 M375
IntroThe GeForce GT 230 comes with a clock speed of 550 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 800 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It features 32 SPUs, 16 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M375, which features a clock speed of 1015 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 1100 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GT 230 should perform a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M375 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375 should be much (more or less 361%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 230. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M375 should be quite a bit (more or less 269%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 230, and also capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
