Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 1GB vs Radeon R7 M360
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB has a core clock speed of 648 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 1242 MHz. It also features a 512-bit memory bus, and uses a 55 nm design. It is comprised of 240 SPUs, 80 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which comes with clock speeds of 1125 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 285 1GB will be 894% quicker than the Radeon R7 M360 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB will be quite a bit (approximately 92%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 285 1GB will be a lot (more or less 130%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R7 M360, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR 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 AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
