Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 7970 vs Radeon RX 6650 XT
IntroThe Radeon HD 7970 features a core clock speed of 925 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1375 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 2055 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 2190 MHz on this specific card. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 6650 XT, in theory, should be a bit faster than the Radeon HD 7970 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6650 XT is quite a bit (more or less 122%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 7970. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT 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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
