Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs Radeon R9 M370X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 3GB features a GPU core speed of 1392 MHz, and the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1750 MHz through a 96-bit bus. It also is made up of 768 Stream Processors, 48 Texture Address Units, and 24 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M370X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this particular card. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 1050 3GB should in theory perform a little bit faster than the Radeon R9 M370X overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is much (approximately 109%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is the winner, 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 MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
