Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 285 vs Radeon R9 380 2G
IntroThe Radeon R9 285 uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 918 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1375 MHz on this specific card. It features 1792 SPUs along with 112 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 380 2G, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 970 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1425 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1792 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 380 2G should theoretically be a little bit faster than the Radeon R9 285 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 380 2G is just a bit (more or less 6%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 285. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 380 2G will be a small bit (approximately 6%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R9 285, and will be able to handle higher screen 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
