Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX Titan Black vs Radeon R9 290
IntroThe GeForce GTX Titan Black uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 889 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2880 SPUs along with 240 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon R9 290, which features GPU clock speed of 800 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1250 MHz through a 512-bit bus. It also features 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX Titan Black should in theory perform a little bit faster than the Radeon R9 290 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX Titan Black will be quite a bit (about 67%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 290. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 290 is a little bit (more or less 20%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX Titan Black, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
