Radeon R7 260X vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which features a clock frequency of 2150 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 2250 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit memory bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It features 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon R7 260X		104000 MB/sec
	Difference: 338368 (325%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT will be a lot (more or less 458%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 260X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 260X		61600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 282400 (458%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is a lot (more or less 682%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 260X, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 260X		17600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 120000 (682%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock 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 is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
