Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 470 vs Radeon RX 460 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 470 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 607 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 837 MHz on this specific card. It features 448 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 40 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which features GPU clock speed of 1090 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 896 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 470, in theory, should be a little bit faster than the Radeon RX 460 2GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 460 2GB is quite a bit (approximately 80%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 470. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 470 is a lot (more or less 39%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 460 2GB, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure 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 video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
