Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs Radeon R7 370 4G
IntroThe GeForce GTX 660 Ti features a GPU clock speed of 915 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 1344 Stream Processors, 112 Texture Address Units, and 24 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 370 4G, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 975 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1400 MHz on this specific model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 32 ROPs.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 370 4G should be 24% faster than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 660 Ti will be a lot (about 64%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 4G is superior to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, 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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
