Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB vs Radeon R9 M270X
IntroThe Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 650 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1000 MHz on this particular card. It features 480 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M270X, which features GPU clock speed of 725 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 M270X should theoretically be just a bit faster than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M270X will be quite a bit (about 86%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M270X will be much (about 123%) better at AA than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 2GB, and capable of handling higher 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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. 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 reach the max fill rate.
