Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 vs Radeon RX 570
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 has core clock speeds of 1126 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 570, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1168 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 570 should theoretically be a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 980 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 570 should be just a bit (more or less 4%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 980. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 is a lot (approximately 93%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon RX 570, and should be capable of handling higher screen 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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its 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 - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
