GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon Pro Duo

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon Pro Duo, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The HBM memory works at a speed of 500 MHz on this particular model. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1060		120480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 391520 (325%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is quite a bit (approximately 77%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 1060, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1060		72288 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 55712 (77%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at 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 can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. 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 many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
