Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 450 1GB vs Radeon RX 560
IntroThe GeForce GTS 450 1GB comes with a clock speed of 783 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 902 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It features 192 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 560, which features clock speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 560, in theory, should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTS 450 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 560 is much (approximately 200%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTS 450 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 560 will be a lot (approximately 50%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTS 450 1GB, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
