Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon RX 6950 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1925 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 2250 MHz on this specific card. It features 5120 SPUs along with 320 Texture Address Units and 128 ROPs.

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 521920 (555%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT will be a lot (about 686%) better at FSAA than the Geforce GTX 760, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		246400 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 215040 (686%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
