Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 440 1.5GB vs Radeon HD 4750
IntroThe GeForce GT 440 1.5GB features clock speeds of 594 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1536 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 144 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 4750, which has GPU clock speed of 730 MHz, and 512 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 800 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640(128x5) Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 4750 should theoretically perform a bit faster than the GeForce GT 440 1.5GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 4750 will be much (about 64%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 440 1.5GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GT 440 1.5GB is the winner, and very much so. (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 max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour 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 output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
