Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 470 4GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 features core speeds of 1506 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1280 SPUs along with 80 TAUs and 48 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 470 4GB, which comes with a clock speed of 926 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1650 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 470 4GB should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 will be a little bit (about 2%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 470 4GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1060 is a better choice, and very much so. (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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should 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, HDR and higher screen 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 texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

Thank you
yw, thank you for your kind words.
Pixel fillrate affects useage even without AA.
4K needs very high fillrates.
rx480@ 5.8 tflops struggles with a 3.8tflops.
it is because of the much higher fillrate of the 1060.
