Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs Radeon R9 280X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti has a clock speed of 875 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also features a 384-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 2880 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon R9 280X, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 850 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti should be a small bit faster than the Radeon R9 280X overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 780 Ti is much (more or less 93%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 280X. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is superior to the Radeon R9 280X, and very much so. (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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

You really don't need more memory with a $720 EVGA Superclocked 780 Ti, unless you are running resolutions of way over 1080p.
With a clockspeed of 1008, and a boost speed of 1085, the SC 780 Ti has more texel pushing power than two R9 280X's while using half the power.
