Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		75 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (127%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Geforce GTX 760 will be 72% quicker than the Radeon RX 460 2GB in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 80256 (72%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 should be quite a bit (approximately 54%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 460 2GB. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 33040 (54%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13920 (80%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
