Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 vs Radeon RX 5600
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 has a GPU core speed of 1126 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which comes with a clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 5600 should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 980 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (more or less 22%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 980. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (approximately 22%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTX 980, and capable of handling higher screen 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 max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill 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.
