Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 440 1.5GB vs Radeon HD 4770
IntroThe GeForce GT 440 1.5GB features a GPU core speed of 594 MHz, and the 1536 MB of GDDR3 memory is set to run at 900 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 144 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 24 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 4770, which features GPU core speed of 750 MHz, and 512 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 800 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640(128x5) SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon HD 4770 should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GT 440 1.5GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 4770 should be a lot (about 68%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 440 1.5GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GT 440 1.5GB is the winner, but only just. (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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
