Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 vs Radeon RX 560
IntroThe GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 features a clock frequency of 576 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 999 MHz. It also makes use of a 448-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 65 nm design. It is made up of 216 SPUs, 72 Texture Address Units, and 28 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1175 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1024 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 560, in theory, should perform a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 560 will be much (more or less 81%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 260 Core 216. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 560 is a better choice, though 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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video 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 maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
