Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon RX 590
IntroThe Geforce GTX 780 comes with a GPU core speed of 863 MHz, and the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1502 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 590, which comes with a core clock speed of 1469 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also features a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 12 nm design. It is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Geforce GTX 780 is 10% quicker than the Radeon RX 590 overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 590 is much (approximately 28%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 780. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 590 is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (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 MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
