Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GTX vs Radeon HD 5750 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GTX features clock speeds of 575 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 768 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 128 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 24 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, which comes with clock speeds of 700 MHz on the GPU, and 1150 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 720(144x5) SPUs as well as 36 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce 8800 GTX should in theory perform a small bit faster than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 8800 GTX is a lot (about 46%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce 8800 GTX should be a lot (more or less 23%) better at AA than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, and capable of handling 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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result 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 high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock 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 fill rate also depends on many 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.
