GeForce 8800 GT 256MB		44800 MB/sec
	Difference: 250112 (558%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (approximately 424%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8800 GT 256MB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 256MB		33600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 142400 (424%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (approximately 817%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GT 256MB, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 256MB		9600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 78400 (817%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number 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 video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
