Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon R9 290X
IntroThe Geforce GTX 780 has a GPU clock speed of 863 MHz, and the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1502 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 192 TAUs, and 48 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R9 290X, which features a core clock frequency of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also features a 512-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 2816 SPUs, 176 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 290X should be a bit faster than the Geforce GTX 780 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 780 should be a small bit (approximately 18%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 290X. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 290X should be quite a bit (more or less 24%) more effective at FSAA than the Geforce GTX 780, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (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 moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

5 Responses to “Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon R9 290X”Nice!!!!!!!!!! 290x is the best.
Well The 780 Can be Over Clocked a lot unlike the 290X it is HOT as Fuck.
Change TIM..... easy
@KENT if you're happy with the results of this. That's unfair. If you want, you can compare te 780 to the 290 and the 780ti to 290x.
@Jett No, this is an even comparison. Both of these cards reside in the same price range. It doesn't make sense to compare a $500 card to a $650 card. THAT is unfair.
