Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R9 M295X		125 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 45 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Geforce GTX 760 will be 9% quicker than the Radeon R9 M295X overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M295X		176000 MB/sec
	Difference: 16256 (9%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M295X is a bit (approximately 2%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

Radeon R9 M295X		96000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1920 (2%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M295X		24000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7360 (31%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total 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 applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
