Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 680 vs Radeon HD 7790
IntroThe Geforce GTX 680 uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1006 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1502 MHz on this specific card. It features 1536 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Radeon HD 7790, which features a core clock speed of 1000 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Geforce GTX 680 is 100% quicker than the Radeon HD 7790 overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 680 will be quite a bit (approximately 130%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 7790. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Geforce GTX 680 is much (approximately 101%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 7790, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
