GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600, which has a core clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

The Radeon RX 5600 should be much (more or less 424%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		33600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 142400 (424%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be quite a bit (approximately 817%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		9600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 78400 (817%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
