GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which features GPU clock speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 164800 (1471%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (about 3043%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM), and capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
