Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB vs Radeon HD 7770
IntroThe GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB uses a 90 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 513 MHz. The GDDR3 memory is set to run at a frequency of 792 MHz on this specific card. It features 96 SPUs along with 48 Texture Address Units and 20 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 7770, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1125 MHz on this particular card. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon HD 7770 will be 14% quicker than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 7770 is much (more or less 62%) better at AF than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 7770 will be much (about 56%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB, and should be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
