Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 470 4GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 comes with 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 specs to the Radeon RX 470 4GB, which comes with a core clock frequency of 926 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1650 MHz. It also features a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 470 4GB should in theory perform a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 should be a small bit (more or less 2%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 470 4GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 will be quite a bit (more or less 144%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 470 4GB, and should be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

3 Responses to “GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 470 4GB”I love this site. Great work.
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.
