GeForce GT 320 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular model. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 320		43 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 117 Watts (272%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 XT, in theory, should be a lot faster than the GeForce GT 320 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GT 320		25280 MB/sec
	Difference: 318784 (1261%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is much (more or less 1428%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 320. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 320		12960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 185040 (1428%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is quite a bit (more or less 1937%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 320, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 320		4320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83680 (1937%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
