Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 450 1GB vs Radeon RX 570
IntroThe GeForce GTS 450 1GB makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 783 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 902 MHz on this model. It features 192 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 570, which comes with core speeds of 1168 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 570 should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GTS 450 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 570 will be quite a bit (more or less 497%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTS 450 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 570 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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
