Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 vs Radeon R9 390X 8G
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1126 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 390X 8G, which has clock speeds of 1050 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2816 SPUs as well as 176 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 390X 8G should in theory perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 980 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 390X 8G should be much (about 28%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 980. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 980 is the winner, though only just barely. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 most pixels 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 number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

please help specs and benchmark tell opposite stories which should i choose.no worries about power consumption
