Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 vs Radeon R7 360
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 675 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 900 MHz on this card. It features 336 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 24 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R7 360, which comes with a core clock speed of 1050 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1625 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 768 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 360 should be 20% faster than the GeForce GTX 460 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 360 should be a lot (approximately 33%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 460. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R7 360 should be a small bit (about 4%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 460, and should be able to handle 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 max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
