GeForce 8300 GS (OEM) vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

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

GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		6400 MB/sec
	Difference: 288512 (4508%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (more or less 9678%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 8300 GS (OEM). (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		1800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 174200 (9678%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8300 GS (OEM)		900 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 87100 (9678%)

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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on 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 get to the max fill rate.
