Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 390X 8G vs Radeon RX 6700 XT
IntroThe Radeon R9 390X 8G uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1050 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2816 SPUs along with 176 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 2321 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this model. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 6700 XT should theoretically be just a bit superior to the Radeon R9 390X 8G overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6700 XT is a lot (about 101%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 390X 8G. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is a better choice, by a large margin. (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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total 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 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 write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
