Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 970 vs Radeon RX 480 4GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 970 comes with a core clock speed of 1050 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1664 SPUs, 104 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 480 4GB should perform a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 970 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 480 4GB is a lot (about 48%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 970. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 970 is a better choice, 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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range 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 worked out 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed 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. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
