Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 250 512MB vs Radeon RX 560
IntroThe GeForce GTS 250 512MB uses a 65/55 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 738 MHz. The GDDR3 memory runs at a frequency of 1100 MHz on this particular card. It features 128 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 560, which has core speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 560, in theory, should perform much faster than the GeForce GTS 250 512MB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 560 will be quite a bit (about 59%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTS 250 512MB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 560 will be a lot (about 59%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTS 250 512MB, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
