Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6770 1GB vs Radeon R7 250X 2GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 6770 1GB uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1050 MHz on this particular model. It features 800 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 250X 2GB, which has a clock frequency of 1000 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1125 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R7 250X 2GB, in theory, should perform a bit faster than the Radeon HD 6770 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 250X 2GB should be just a bit (about 11%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6770 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 250X 2GB is a better choice, though not by far. (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 MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range 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 texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
