Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce RTX 3080 vs Radeon RX 7900 XT
IntroThe GeForce RTX 3080 uses a 8 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1440 MHz. The GDDR6X RAM works at a speed of 1188 MHz on this card. It features 8704 SPUs as well as 272 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 7900 XT, which comes with clock speeds of 1500 MHz on the GPU, and 2500 MHz on the 20480 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 5376 SPUs along with 336 Texture Address Units and 192 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 7900 XT should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 3080 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 7900 XT is a lot (more or less 29%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 3080. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 7900 XT 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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR 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 texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs 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 fill rate is also dependant 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.
