Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 285 2GB vs Radeon RX 6500 XT
IntroThe GeForce GTX 285 2GB comes with a GPU core clock speed of 648 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR3 RAM is set to run at 1242 MHz through a 512-bit bus. It also features 240 SPUs, 80 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which features clock speeds of 2200 MHz on the GPU, and 2250 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the GeForce GTX 285 2GB should in theory be just a bit better than the Radeon RX 6500 XT in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6500 XT should be quite a bit (about 172%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 285 2GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6500 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX 285 2GB, by a large margin. (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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
