Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce GTX 970
IntroThe GeForce GTX 1060 has 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 TAUs and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the GeForce GTX 970, which uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1050 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 1664 SPUs as well as 104 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the GeForce GTX 970 should be 14% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1060 in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 is a bit (approximately 10%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 970. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 1060 is just a bit (about 8%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 970, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (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 past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 amount of pixels the video card could possibly record 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 clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
