Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 380 2G vs Radeon R9 390 8G
IntroThe Radeon R9 380 2G has a GPU clock speed of 970 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1425 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 1792 Stream Processors, 112 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 390 8G, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 390 8G should perform much faster than the Radeon R9 380 2G in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 390 8G should be much (more or less 47%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 380 2G. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 390 8G should be quite a bit (about 106%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon R9 380 2G, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
