Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 650 vs Radeon R7 250X 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 650 features a clock frequency of 1058 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R7 250X 2GB, which comes with clock speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 650 should in theory be just a bit faster than the Radeon R7 250X 2GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 250X 2GB is a bit (about 18%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 650. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 650 is the winner, but not by far. (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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
