Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Radeon RX 5500 XT
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 3GB uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 1506 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 1152 SPUs as well as 72 TAUs and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which has core clock speeds of 1717 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 1408 SPUs as well as 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5500 XT should theoretically be a little bit superior to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 5500 XT is a lot (about 39%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 3GB should be a lot (more or less 32%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5500 XT, and also capable of handling higher 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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 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, HDR and higher screen 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 texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
