Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 SE vs Radeon RX 550
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 SE comes with clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 850 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 288 SPUs along with 48 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 550, which has GPU clock speed of 1100 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 512 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 550 is 5% quicker than the GeForce GTX 460 SE overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 550 will be just a bit (more or less 13%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 460 SE. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 SE should be a bit (approximately 18%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 550, and should be capable of handling higher 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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
