Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6850 vs Radeon RX 460 2GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 6850 makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 775 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this model. It features 960 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which comes with a clock speed of 1090 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 896 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 6850 is 14% quicker than the Radeon RX 460 2GB overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 460 2GB will be much (about 64%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6850. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6850 will be much (approximately 42%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 460 2GB, and able to handle higher 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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core 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 in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. 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 many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
