Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 7850 vs Radeon RX 5700 XT
IntroThe Radeon HD 7850 makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 860 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1200 MHz on this particular model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which has core clock speeds of 1605 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 5700 XT should be 199% quicker than the Radeon HD 7850 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 5700 XT should be a lot (approximately 367%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 7850. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 5700 XT is a lot (approximately 273%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 7850, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. 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 lots of 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.
