Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon RX 560
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 Ti makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2816 SPUs along with 176 Texture Address Units and 96 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 560, which features core clock speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti should perform a lot faster than the Radeon RX 560 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 134%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 980 Ti is superior to the Radeon RX 560, by a large margin. (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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
