Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 370 4G vs Radeon R9 M390X
IntroThe Radeon R7 370 4G makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 975 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1400 MHz on this specific model. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M390X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 723 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1250 MHz on this card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R7 370 4G, in theory, should be just a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M390X in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M390X will be a lot (more or less 48%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 4G is the winner, by a large margin. (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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can 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 colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
