Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should theoretically perform much faster than the Radeon R7 M260X overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		524288 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		64000 MB/sec
	Difference: 460288 (719%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 2849%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 M260X. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		19800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 564200 (2849%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6900 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M260X		6600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 227000 (3439%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
