GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which comes with core speeds of 1090 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 896 SPUs along with 56 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Radeon RX 460 2GB		75 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (127%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 460 2GB overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 16256 (15%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 2GB should be a little bit (about 16%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 8432 (16%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8864 (51%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
