Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8600 GT 1GB DDR2 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super
IntroThe GeForce 8600 GT 1GB DDR2 comes with a core clock frequency of 540 MHz and a DDR2 memory frequency of 400 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 80 nm design. It is comprised of 32 SPUs, 16 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1470 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2176 SPUs along with 136 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe GeForce RTX 2060 Super should in theory be quite a bit faster than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB DDR2 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce RTX 2060 Super is quite a bit (approximately 2214%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB DDR2. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a lot (approximately 2078%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB DDR2, and 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure 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 graphics 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 amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
