Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 3GB features core speeds of 1506 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1152 SPUs along with 72 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.Compare that to the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1500 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 1536 SPUs along with 96 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksBoth cards have the same power consumption.Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, in theory, should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1660 Ti will be a lot (more or less 33%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is superior to the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, but not 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 transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
