Hey, I was wondering what details of a gpu you would have to look at to see if it is good or not without actually using it. Also, if two graphics cards have the same "stats" does it always mean they will perform the same?

A card can only be 'better' - having a better benchmark eg Cinebench, Metro 2033 with specified detail. One card might not always be better in all benchmark testing. Eg change detail - MXAA, FXAA, resolution (1080, 4k) or game. Your CPU can also affect the benchmark results. And there are errors in results. If a card is at least 10% better than another in one test it will probably be better in most tests.
But also better can mean features - GSync, Mantle, SLI, XFire, etc and overclockability, temperatures, noise, power consumption.

So 'better' isn't as straight forward as it first might be thought.
