Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 1GB vs Radeon R9 M375X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 1GB features a core clock frequency of 675 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 336 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M375X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1015 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1125 MHz on this particular card. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 460 1GB should be 60% quicker than the Radeon R9 M375X in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375X should be a bit (approximately 7%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 460 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 1GB will be a lot (more or less 33%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M375X, and able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 max amount of information (in units of MB 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 its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
