Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon R9 290
IntroThe Geforce GTX 780 features clock speeds of 863 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 192 TAUs and 48 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 290, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1250 MHz on this particular card. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 290, in theory, should be just a bit faster than the Geforce GTX 780 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 780 is quite a bit (approximately 29%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 290. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 290 is quite a bit (about 24%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Geforce GTX 780, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

La GTX 780 est bien mieux que la R9 290 au niveau performance.
AND THE WINNER IS R9 290!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
les deux aux choix
Long live the power of cheapness. Radeon won!!
Geht rekt AMD and nvidia my Microsoft CPU and GPU is mich fast er m8 ur card is total shite
