Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB vs Radeon R9 M375X
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB has a GPU core clock speed of 513 MHz, and the 320 MB of GDDR3 memory runs at 792 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also is comprised of 96 Stream Processors, 48 TAUs, and 20 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M375X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1015 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon R9 M375X should in theory be a small bit superior to the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375X will be a lot (approximately 65%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M375X is superior to the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB, 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 max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
