GeForce GTX 580 vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which comes with core speeds of 2150 MHz on the GPU, and 2250 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 580		192384 MB/sec
	Difference: 249984 (130%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is quite a bit (more or less 596%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 580. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 580		49408 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 294592 (596%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6750 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 580		37056 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 100544 (271%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
