Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 5600 vs Radeon RX 590
IntroThe Radeon RX 5600 features a GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM runs at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 590, which uses a 12 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1469 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this particular model. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 5600 should perform a little bit faster than the Radeon RX 590 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 590 should be just a bit (about 20%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, by a large margin. (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 MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core 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 processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
