Radeon R7 M260X vs Radeon RX 6900 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1825 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 2000 MHz on this model. It features 5120 SPUs along with 320 TAUs and 128 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 564200 (2849%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT will be much (approximately 3439%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 M260X, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 227000 (3439%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
