Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon R9 M395X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 features a GPU clock speed of 732 MHz, and the 1280 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 900 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also features 448 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 40 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M395X, which features a core clock speed of 723 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also features a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M395X should be a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M395X will be much (more or less 126%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 is the winner, and very much so. (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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units 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 per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill 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 ability to get to the max fill rate.
