Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9800 GTX vs Radeon HD 6770 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 9800 GTX makes use of a 65 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 675 MHz. The GDDR3 memory runs at a speed of 1100 MHz on this particular model. It features 128 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6770 1GB, which features GPU core speed of 900 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1050 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 800 Stream Processors, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce 9800 GTX should be 5% faster than the Radeon HD 6770 1GB overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 9800 GTX should be just a bit (more or less 20%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 6770 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB will be quite a bit (approximately 33%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce 9800 GTX, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (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 maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
