Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 390 8G vs Radeon RX 5600 XT
IntroThe Radeon R9 390 8G uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically, the Radeon R9 390 8G should be a little bit faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 5600 XT should be much (about 24%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 390 8G. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 5600 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 38%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon R9 390 8G, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
