Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX Titan vs Radeon R9 280
IntroThe GeForce GTX Titan uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 837 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1502 MHz on this particular model. It features 2688 SPUs along with 224 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 280, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 933 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1250 MHz on this specific card. It features 1792 SPUs as well as 112 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX Titan should in theory perform a small bit faster than the Radeon R9 280 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX Titan is quite a bit (about 79%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 280. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX Titan is the winner, by a large margin. (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 moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
