Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8600 GT 512MB DDR2 vs Radeon RX Vega 64
IntroThe GeForce 8600 GT 512MB DDR2 features clock speeds of 540 MHz on the GPU, and 400 MHz on the 512 MB of DDR2 RAM. It features 32 SPUs along with 16 TAUs and 8 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which features clock speeds of 1247 MHz on the GPU, and 1890 MHz on the 8192 MB of HBM2 memory. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon RX Vega 64 should perform much faster than the GeForce 8600 GT 512MB DDR2 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX Vega 64 will be much (more or less 3595%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 8600 GT 512MB DDR2. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX Vega 64 should be much (about 1747%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8600 GT 512MB DDR2, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
