GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which comes with GPU core speed of 2321 MHz, and (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2560 Stream Processors, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		70 Watts
Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
	Difference: 160 Watts (229%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 6700 XT should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		54400 MB/sec
	Difference: 338816 (623%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will be quite a bit (more or less 2010%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 353760 (2010%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will be a lot (more or less 3276%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 144144 (3276%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling 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 graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
