Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 285 vs Radeon R9 380 2G
IntroThe Radeon R9 285 makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 918 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1375 MHz on this specific card. It features 1792 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 380 2G, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 970 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1425 MHz on this model. It features 1792 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon R9 380 2G should in theory be a little bit better than the Radeon R9 285 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 380 2G should be a bit (more or less 6%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 285. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R9 380 2G is a better choice, 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
