Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 4730 vs Radeon R9 M375X
IntroThe Radeon HD 4730 makes use of a 55 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 700 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 900 MHz on this specific card. It features 640(128x5) SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which comes with clock speeds of 1015 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon R9 M375X should in theory be much superior to the Radeon HD 4730 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375X will be quite a bit (approximately 81%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 4730. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M375X is superior to the Radeon HD 4730, 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
