Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) vs Radeon R9 295X2
IntroThe GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) comes with core speeds of 450 MHz on the GPU, and 400 MHz on the 128 MB of DDR2 RAM. It features 8 SPUs along with 4 TAUs and 2 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 295X2, which has a core clock frequency of 1018 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also uses a 512-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 2816 SPUs, 176 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 295X2 should perform a lot faster than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 295X2 is much (about 19808%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM). (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 295X2 is superior to the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM), 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. One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.

Wtf, dx 10? shaders 4.0???
but srsly, i was just curious; 19808% faster at af lool
Really? Just, really? Direct x10 card with 128mb of ddr2 memory clocked at 6400mb/s, lets all agree and call this an anti bf4 card
8300 for the win! The 295X2 sucks, it can't run the latest, most intense games like Minesweeper. Pathetic.
I can't believe people actually looked up the top and the bottom of the list lol. This match up made me laugh! Hahaha!
I kinda feel bad for the 8300 GS...
This means ATI > nVidia
nvidia sucks everywhere, AMD is king of gaming world...
look at the price comparison section they said 8300gs is priceless
