Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon R9 280X
IntroThe Geforce GTX 760 comes with a clock speed of 980 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1502 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 1152 SPUs, 96 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R9 280X, which features GPU core speed of 850 MHz, and 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1500 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also features 2048 Stream Processors, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon R9 280X should perform much faster than the Geforce GTX 760 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 280X will be a small bit (more or less 16%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is superior to the Radeon R9 280X, not by a very large margin though. (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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.

6 Responses to “Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon R9 280X”Best gtx-760.......for power Efficency & Power
If you don't care about physx, cuda, etc.. And that the power consumption and heat doesn't bother you, go with the r9 280. If you care go with gtx 760
It's clear, R9 280x WINS.
r9 frame rate + mantle 🙂
250w ?.. AMD clowning as usual ..even the light years more powerful GTX 980 is only 165w
gtx 760 wins cuz we have better driver support cuz amd has doo doo driver support.
