Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Radeon RX 5500
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 3GB uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1506 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 2000 MHz on this specific card. It features 1152 SPUs as well as 72 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500, which comes with a core clock speed of 1670 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 1408 SPUs, 88 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon RX 5500 should theoretically be just a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 5500 will be quite a bit (more or less 36%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is the winner, and very much so. (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 transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 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, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 the video card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
