GeForce GTX 880M vs Radeon RX 6500 XT

Intro

The GeForce GTX 880M has core speeds of 954 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1536 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which has a core clock frequency of 2200 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2250 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit bus, and makes use of a 6 nm design. It features 1024 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 880M 128000 MB/sec
Difference: 19456 (15%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6500 XT should be just a bit (about 15%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 880M. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT 140800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 880M 122112 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 18688 (15%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6500 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX 880M, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT 70400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 880M 30528 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 39872 (131%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number 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 many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
