Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 2GB vs Radeon R9 M375
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 2GB features clock speeds of 648 MHz on the GPU, and 1242 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 240 SPUs along with 80 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M375, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1015 MHz, and 4096 MB of DDR3 RAM running at 1100 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 285 2GB, in theory, should perform much faster than the Radeon R9 M375 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 285 2GB should be much (approximately 28%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M375. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 285 2GB is the winner, and very much so. (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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
