Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 950 vs Radeon R7 260X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 950 comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1024 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 1652 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 768 Stream Processors, 48 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R7 260X, which features core speeds of 1100 MHz on the GPU, and 1625 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 950 should in theory be a bit superior to the Radeon R7 260X in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 260X will be quite a bit (approximately 25%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 950. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 950 is a lot (about 86%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 260X, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher 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 the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
