Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 7850 vs Radeon RX 6500 XT
IntroThe Radeon HD 7850 makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 860 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1200 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which makes use of a 6 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 2200 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 2250 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon HD 7850 should be just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 6500 XT overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6500 XT will be a lot (more or less 156%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon HD 7850. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 6500 XT will be a lot (about 156%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon HD 7850, and also capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
