Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce GTX 970
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 has core clock speeds of 1506 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1280 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 48 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the GeForce GTX 970, which makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1050 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 1664 SPUs along with 104 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the GeForce GTX 970 should be a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 will be a little bit (more or less 10%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 970. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 is just a bit (approximately 8%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 970, and should be capable of handling higher screen 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
