GeForce GT 430 (OEM) vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which has a core clock frequency of 1717 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It features 1408 SPUs, 88 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 200576 (696%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should be a lot (about 1249%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GT 430 (OEM). (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		11200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 139896 (1249%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 430 (OEM)		2800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 52144 (1862%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at 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 in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
