Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon R9 295X2
IntroThe Radeon Pro Duo makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The HBM RAM works at a frequency of 500 MHz on this particular card. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Radeon R9 295X2, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1018 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1250 MHz on this card. It features 2816 SPUs along with 176 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon Pro Duo should theoretically perform a lot faster than the Radeon R9 295X2 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon Pro Duo is quite a bit (approximately 43%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 295X2. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 295X2 should be a small bit (approximately 2%) more effective at AA than the Radeon Pro Duo, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (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. One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of. Price Comparison

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
