GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition
Intro
The GeForce 8800 GT 1GB features a core clock frequency of 600 MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 900 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and uses a 65 nm design. It is comprised of 112 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which has GPU core speed of 1382 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM running at 1890 MHz through a 2048-bit bus. It also is comprised of 4096 SPUs, 256 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. 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 quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
