GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB vs Radeon RX 6600

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6600, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1626 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 1792 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 will be much (approximately 935%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		182112 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		17600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 164512 (935%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 should be a lot (more or less 2265%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		104064 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 240 GDDR5 1GB		4400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 99664 (2265%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
