Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1080 vs Radeon R9 380 2G
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1080 uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1607 MHz. The GDDR5X memory runs at a frequency of 1251 MHz on this particular model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 380 2G, which comes with a clock speed of 970 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1425 MHz. It also features a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 1792 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 1080 should in theory perform much faster than the Radeon R9 380 2G in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1080 is much (approximately 137%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 380 2G. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1080 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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core 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 per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
