GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB		84 Watts
Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
	Difference: 96 Watts (114%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5700 should be 1095% quicker than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB		38400 MB/sec
	Difference: 420352 (1095%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 is a lot (more or less 699%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB		26400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 184560 (699%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 should be much (more or less 1321%) more effective at AA than the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 87160 (1321%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
