Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 770 vs Radeon R7 M260
IntroThe Geforce GTX 770 makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1046 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1753 MHz on this particular model. It features 1536 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M260, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 715 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthIn theory, the Geforce GTX 770 will be 1302% quicker than the Radeon R7 M260 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 770 should be much (about 680%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M260. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 770 is a better choice, by a large margin. (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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated 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 graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
