I should mention I recently upgraded my monitor which made my native resolution jump from 1440x900 to 1920x1080. More importantly, here are the questions I am looking answers for:
What does the core clock do?
What does the shader clock do?
What do stream processors do?
What is effective memory clock?
What is the difference between having a 1GB version of a certain card and a 2GB of the same card?
What is difference between the bits of a card, example being 256-bit vs 320-bit [I believe this is how fast data gets transferred but I'm not sure]
I did try to google for some answers to these questions while I got some info a lot of it was over the top and complicated, I'm looking for simple answers to make an informed decision. Thanks for your time.
