Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 480 4GB vs Radeon RX 6800
IntroThe Radeon RX 480 4GB comes with a clock frequency of 1120 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It features 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon RX 6800, which features core speeds of 1700 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon RX 6800 should be a lot faster than the Radeon RX 480 4GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6800 should be quite a bit (more or less 153%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 480 4GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is a better choice, by far. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output 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 maximum fill rate.
