Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 450 vs Radeon R9 M375X
IntroThe GeForce GTS 450 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 783 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 902 MHz on this specific card. It features 192 SPUs as well as 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M375X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1015 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1125 MHz on this particular model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M375X is 25% faster than the GeForce GTS 450 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375X should be quite a bit (about 62%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTS 450. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M375X is a lot (more or less 30%) better at AA than the GeForce GTS 450, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core 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 processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
