Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 380 2G vs Radeon RX 5700
IntroThe Radeon R9 380 2G uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 970 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1425 MHz on this card. It features 1792 SPUs along with 112 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700, which features core clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon RX 5700 should in theory be quite a bit superior to the Radeon R9 380 2G overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 5700 is quite a bit (approximately 94%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 380 2G. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 5700 is much (more or less 202%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 380 2G, and should 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out 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 outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few 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.
