GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which has core clock speeds of 1090 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is much (approximately 300%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 460 2GB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 183224 (300%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be a lot (about 490%) better at FSAA than the Radeon RX 460 2GB, and able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85408 (490%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of 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 write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
