Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon HD 6950 2GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti comes with a GPU core clock speed of 822 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 1002 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 384 Stream Processors, 64 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6950 2GB, which features a clock speed of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1250 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It features 1408 SPUs, 88 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon HD 6950 2GB, in theory, should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6950 2GB is a lot (approximately 34%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 560 Ti will be a bit (approximately 3%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 6950 2GB, and also capable of handling 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

Are you serious with this?
Really, _three_ games?
And judging "fastest card" by counting the TOTAL FPS of those _three_ games? 😀
Not to mention grabbing "power consumption" figures straight from "official specifications" which have little to do with real life.
Check TPU or some other site for proper benchmarks, including power consumption (hint: GTX560 Ti, is NOT faster, and in fact uses more power than 6950)
Agreed with Kaotik. This is possibly the worst comparison I've ever seen. Comparing FPS for three games, two of which have notable Nvidia bias (Dirt 2/Just Cause 2), and then declaring one is faster than the other based purely on tech specs... for shame. Real benchmarks consistently show the 6950 faster across the majority of games, which show just how accurate this comparison really is.
These comparisons are all automated based on database info. But I'll change the wording so it doesn't seem so 'declarative' or whatever.
The benchmarks are real, unless of course Tom's Hardware faked them... which I doubt 🙂
The power consumption figures have to come from official specifications, because it's rare to find sites testing power draw without reporting the total system draw... which can't be used to compare cards because they may have been tested in completely different systems. It's just impractical for comparing things on such a massive scale...
And I don't feel like typing up a disclaimer under every single heading. 😀

No way the gtx 560ti is better than Radeon HD 6950 (this test is absurd)
