GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		70 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
	Difference: 155 Watts (221%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 XT is 743% faster than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		54400 MB/sec
	Difference: 404352 (743%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT will be a lot (about 1359%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 239200 (1359%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT should be much (more or less 2235%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 98320 (2235%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number 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 amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill 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 potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
