Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon HD 6950 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti has a core clock frequency of 822 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1002 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6950 2GB, which comes with core clock speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1408 SPUs as well as 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 6950 2GB should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6950 2GB should be quite a bit (more or less 34%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the winner, not by a very large margin though. (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 moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one 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 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 most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.

Are you serious with this?
Really, _three_ games?
And judging "fastest card" by counting the TOTAL FPS of those _three_ games? 😀
Not to mention grabbing "power consumption" figures straight from "official specifications" which have little to do with real life.
Check TPU or some other site for proper benchmarks, including power consumption (hint: GTX560 Ti, is NOT faster, and in fact uses more power than 6950)
Agreed with Kaotik. This is possibly the worst comparison I've ever seen. Comparing FPS for three games, two of which have notable Nvidia bias (Dirt 2/Just Cause 2), and then declaring one is faster than the other based purely on tech specs... for shame. Real benchmarks consistently show the 6950 faster across the majority of games, which show just how accurate this comparison really is.
These comparisons are all automated based on database info. But I'll change the wording so it doesn't seem so 'declarative' or whatever.
The benchmarks are real, unless of course Tom's Hardware faked them... which I doubt 🙂
The power consumption figures have to come from official specifications, because it's rare to find sites testing power draw without reporting the total system draw... which can't be used to compare cards because they may have been tested in completely different systems. It's just impractical for comparing things on such a massive scale...
And I don't feel like typing up a disclaimer under every single heading. 😀

No way the gtx 560ti is better than Radeon HD 6950 (this test is absurd)
