Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 390X 8G vs Radeon RX 5600 XT
IntroThe Radeon R9 390X 8G has core speeds of 1050 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2816 SPUs as well as 176 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 390X 8G will be 12% quicker than the Radeon RX 5600 XT overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 5600 XT should be a small bit (about 7%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 390X 8G. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
