Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon RX 460 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 950M uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 914 MHz. The DDR3 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1090 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 460 2GB should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 950M in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 460 2GB should be quite a bit (approximately 67%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 950M. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 460 2GB is superior to the GeForce GTX 950M, but not by far. (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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
