Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon HD 6850
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 features a GPU clock speed of 732 MHz, and the 1280 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 900 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also is comprised of 448 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 40 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6850, which has core speeds of 775 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 960 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 should theoretically be a bit superior to the Radeon HD 6850 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 should be a little bit (more or less 10%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 6850. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 should be a little bit (more or less 18%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon HD 6850, and should be capable of handling higher 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 megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
