GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon HD 6750

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6750, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 725 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1000 MHz on this particular card. It features 720 SPUs as well as 36 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Radeon HD 6750		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 132608 (207%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1060 should be much (about 362%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 6750. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1060		120480 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 6750		26100 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 94380 (362%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1060 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1060		72288 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 6750		11600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60688 (523%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could 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 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 is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
