Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		143 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 7 Watts (5%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 should perform a lot faster than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		63360 MB/sec
	Difference: 231552 (365%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be quite a bit (more or less 615%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		24624 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 151376 (615%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		10260 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 77740 (758%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant 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.
