Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 vs Radeon RX 480 4GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 features a GPU core speed of 1126 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which features a clock speed of 1120 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 480 4GB is 2% faster than the GeForce GTX 980 overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB will be just a bit (more or less 12%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 980. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 should be a lot (about 101%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon RX 480 4GB, and also able to handle 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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
