Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 vs Radeon RX 6900 XT
IntroThe GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 makes use of a 80 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 540 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 700 MHz on this specific model. It features 32 SPUs as well as 16 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1825 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 5120 Stream Processors, 320 TAUs, and 128 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon RX 6900 XT should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6900 XT will be much (more or less 6659%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 6900 XT should be a lot (more or less 5307%) better at AA than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated 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, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
