Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon R9 285
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 features core speeds of 1506 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1280 SPUs as well as 80 TAUs and 48 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 285, which has GPU core speed of 918 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1375 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1792 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 1060 should theoretically perform just a bit faster than the Radeon R9 285 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 is a little bit (more or less 17%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 285. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 should be a lot (approximately 146%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R9 285, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 chip 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 the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
