Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs Radeon R9 290
IntroThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti has a clock speed of 875 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 2880 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 290, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1250 MHz on this particular card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti should in theory be a little bit superior to the Radeon R9 290 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti will be much (approximately 64%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R9 290. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 290 will be a lot (more or less 22%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (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 (measured in 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 the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total 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 in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
