Radeon R7 250X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 8000 (11%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 250X will be much (more or less 23%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 750. (explain)

Radeon R7 250X		40000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7360 (23%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 750 is the winner, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 250X		16000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 320 (2%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
