Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 680 vs Radeon R9 380X
IntroThe Geforce GTX 680 uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1006 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1502 MHz on this card. It features 1536 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 380X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 970 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1425 MHz on this model. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Geforce GTX 680 should theoretically perform a bit faster than the Radeon R9 380X overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 680 is just a bit (more or less 4%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 380X. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 680 is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
