Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1080 vs Radeon R9 280X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1080 features core speeds of 1607 MHz on the GPU, and 1251 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5X memory. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 280X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 850 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this specific model. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 1080 will be 14% faster than the Radeon R9 280X in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1080 should be a lot (approximately 136%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 280X. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1080 will be quite a bit (approximately 278%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R9 280X, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
