Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon R9 285
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 features a GPU clock speed of 1506 MHz, and the 6144 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 1280 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 285, which has GPU clock speed of 918 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1375 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1792 Stream Processors, 112 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 1060 is 12% quicker than the Radeon R9 285 in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 will be just a bit (approximately 17%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R9 285. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1060 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel 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.
