-More render output processors
-Higher pixel rate
-Wider memory bus
Ain't sure if those ones are important but I would guess if would still do the job.
None of those things directly impacts performance. A card is faster if it runs applications faster. It doesn't matter which numbers are higher. What matters is the big picture (how those numbers relate to performance). If a chip runs a program faster than another chip then it's the faster chip regardless of specs.
The memory bus width for example factors into memory bandwidth by memory bandwidth = (memory bus width x memory data rate)/8. Memory bandwidth along with texel fill rate, primitive fill rate, tessellation fill rate, pixel fill rate, shader throughput, cache performance, ALU IPC, etc. all effect performance.

Both of those cards support OGL 4.3. All AMD cards 5000 series and up support it.
