Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon R7 240
IntroThe Geforce GTX 780 uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 863 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1502 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 192 TAUs and 48 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 240, which comes with GPU core speed of 730 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM set to run at 900 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 320 SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Geforce GTX 780 should perform a lot faster than the Radeon R7 240 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 780 is much (about 1035%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 780 is a better choice, by far. (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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
