Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 670 vs Radeon R9 270X
IntroThe Geforce GTX 670 has a GPU core speed of 915 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 1500 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1344 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 270X, which has a core clock frequency of 1000 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1400 MHz. It also features a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 1280 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Geforce GTX 670 should in theory perform a small bit faster than the Radeon R9 270X overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 670 is much (about 28%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 270X. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 270X will be a bit (more or less 9%) more effective at FSAA than the Geforce GTX 670, and will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core 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 output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
