GeForce 8800 GT 1GB vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs 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 frequency of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		105 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 55 Watts (52%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5600 XT should theoretically be quite a bit better than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		57600 MB/sec
	Difference: 286464 (497%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be quite a bit (more or less 489%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 1GB		33600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 164400 (489%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is superior to the GeForce 8800 GT 1GB, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
