Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 470 4GB vs Radeon RX 580
IntroThe Radeon RX 470 4GB makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 926 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1650 MHz on this specific card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 580, which comes with core speeds of 1257 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon RX 580 should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the Radeon RX 470 4GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 580 will be quite a bit (approximately 53%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 470 4GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 580 should be quite a bit (about 36%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 470 4GB, and also will be able to handle higher screen 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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
