GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		40 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 110 Watts (275%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 is 4508% faster than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		6400 MB/sec
	Difference: 288512 (4508%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is much (more or less 9678%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM). (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		1800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 174200 (9678%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		900 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 87100 (9678%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
