Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 XT is 5276% quicker than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		6400 MB/sec
	Difference: 337664 (5276%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is quite a bit (more or less 10900%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM). (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		1800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 196200 (10900%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be quite a bit (approximately 9678%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM), and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		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 maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
