Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon RX 470 4GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 has a GPU core speed of 732 MHz, and the 1280 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 900 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also is made up of 448 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 40 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon RX 470 4GB, which features a core clock speed of 926 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1650 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 470 4GB should in theory be much better than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 470 4GB will be a lot (more or less 189%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 470 4GB will be a small bit (more or less 1%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of 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 in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
