Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 470 4GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 has 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 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 470 4GB, which features a core clock speed of 926 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1650 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 470 4GB should in theory be a little bit better than the GeForce GTX 1060 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 should be a bit (approximately 2%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 470 4GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1060 is the winner, by far. (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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum 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.
