GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which features GPU clock speed of 1400 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 memory set to run at 1000 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is comprised of 3840 Stream Processors, 240 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GT 240 GDDR5		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 318400 (1809%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon VII is much (more or less 1936%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5, and capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85200 (1936%)

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 max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
