Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 275 vs Radeon RX 460 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 275 uses a 55 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 633 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM works at a speed of 1134 MHz on this card. It features 240 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 28 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which features a clock frequency of 1090 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It features 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce GTX 275 should theoretically be a bit faster than the Radeon RX 460 2GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 460 2GB should be much (approximately 21%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 275. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 275 is superior to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, though only just barely. (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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
