Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 285 vs Radeon R9 380X
IntroThe Radeon R9 285 makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 918 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1375 MHz on this particular card. It features 1792 SPUs as well as 112 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 380X, which has GPU core speed of 970 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1425 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon R9 380X should in theory be a small bit superior to the Radeon R9 285 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 380X is quite a bit (approximately 21%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 285. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 380X is a bit (more or less 6%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 285, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
