Compare any two graphics cards:
Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon R9 290
IntroThe Geforce GTX 780 features a core clock speed of 863 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1502 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 2304 SPUs, 192 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 290, which features a clock speed of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1250 MHz. It also makes use of a 512-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon R9 290 should be a small bit faster than the Geforce GTX 780 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Geforce GTX 780 should be quite a bit (approximately 29%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 290. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 290 should be a lot (more or less 24%) faster with regards to AA than the Geforce GTX 780, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.

La GTX 780 est bien mieux que la R9 290 au niveau performance.
AND THE WINNER IS R9 290!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
les deux aux choix
Long live the power of cheapness. Radeon won!!
Geht rekt AMD and nvidia my Microsoft CPU and GPU is mich fast er m8 ur card is total shite
