Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs Radeon HD 7790
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1050 3GB has a GPU core clock speed of 1392 MHz, and the 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 1750 MHz through a 96-bit bus. It also features 768 Stream Processors, 48 Texture Address Units, and 24 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon HD 7790, which features a core clock frequency of 1000 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 896 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 7790 is 12% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1050 3GB should be a little bit (about 19%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 7790. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB is superior to the Radeon HD 7790, by a large margin. (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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past 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 it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
