GeForce GT 320 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GT 320		25280 MB/sec
	Difference: 318784 (1261%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be a lot (approximately 1428%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 320. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 320		12960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 185040 (1428%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be quite a bit (more or less 1937%) better at AA than the GeForce GT 320, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 320		4320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83680 (1937%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
