Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 480
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 comes with a GPU core speed of 1506 MHz, and the 6144 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 1280 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 480, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 480 should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 should be much (more or less 34%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1060. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 should be quite a bit (approximately 102%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 480, and also will 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
