Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 570 vs Radeon R9 285
IntroThe GeForce GTX 570 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 732 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 950 MHz on this specific card. It features 480 SPUs as well as 60 TAUs and 40 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 285, which has a core clock speed of 918 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1375 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 1792 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 285 should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 570 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 285 will be a lot (about 134%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 570. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 285 will be just a bit (more or less 0%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 570, and 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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling 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 card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour 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 rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
