GeForce GT 430		60 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (150%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 will be 924% faster than the GeForce GT 430 overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce GT 430		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 266112 (924%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is a lot (about 1471%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 430. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 164800 (1471%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (about 3043%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85200 (3043%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units 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 applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
