So how do I find the Memory Transfer Rate (or memory bandwidth) to make a reasonably comparison? A simple calculation using the three parts of the graphics card identified above is all that is required:
MC = Memory Clock Rate (MHz) Mint = Memory Interface (Bits) MTR = Memory Transfer Rate (GB/sec)
where:
MTR = ( MC * MInt )/8 [...]
Quick Reference:

So compare and become a more educated consumer...
I use in some way product of MC and Mint, but it is really simple way to see video card potential. Other components can make it real performance, or just leave it as a potential, but no other fine tuning can make it faster than theoretical maximum defined by MTR.
How about making this mail part of the wiki? If you don't have a time, I'll do it with your permission.
