there are too many factors that influence the overall performance of a video card... so i can't tell you which specification is more relevant since they all work together

if you're planning on buying a video card to play FS, this chart may help you:

The defining spec is the GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit.

It's the graphics chip. The more advanced it is, the better the video performance.

The amount of ram, core speeds etc, are all secondary considerations.

GPU specs can be extremely confusing, so best to use the above chart unless you have a lot of time for research.
