Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon R9 280
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1070 Ti comes with a clock speed of 1607 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 2000 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and uses a 16 nm design. It features 2432 SPUs, 152 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 280, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 933 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1250 MHz on this particular model. It features 1792 SPUs along with 112 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should be a bit faster than the Radeon R9 280 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 134%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 280. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card 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 the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
