GeForce GT 320 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 320		43 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 117 Watts (272%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 XT, in theory, should be much faster than the GeForce GT 320 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GT 320		25280 MB/sec
	Difference: 318784 (1261%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is quite a bit (more or less 1428%) better at AF than the GeForce GT 320. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is superior to the GeForce GT 320, and very much so. (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 max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as 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 get to the maximum fill rate.
