GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 180400 (1025%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be much (about 1900%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83600 (1900%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. 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 potential to reach the max fill rate.
