Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 5670 vs Radeon R9 M370X
IntroThe Radeon HD 5670 uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 775 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 400(80x5) SPUs as well as 20 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M370X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1125 MHz on this model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon R9 M370X should in theory be just a bit superior to the Radeon HD 5670 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M370X will be much (more or less 106%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 5670. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M370X should be a lot (about 106%) more effective at AA than the Radeon HD 5670, and 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
