GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600, which features a clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		62080 MB/sec
	Difference: 232832 (375%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be quite a bit (about 323%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92). (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		41600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 134400 (323%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (about 746%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92), and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G92)		10400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 77600 (746%)

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 max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
