GeForce GT 450 (OEM) vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1717 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		106 Watts
Radeon RX 5500 XT		130 Watts
	Difference: 24 Watts (23%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should in theory perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 450 (OEM) in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 133376 (139%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT is much (approximately 697%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 450 (OEM). (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		18960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 132136 (697%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT is much (about 190%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 450 (OEM), and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 450 (OEM)		18960 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35984 (190%)

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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called 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, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
