Radeon RX 460 2GB vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which comes with core clock speeds of 2150 MHz on the GPU, and 2250 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 6750 XT should in theory be much better than the Radeon RX 460 2GB overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		442368 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 330368 (295%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is quite a bit (more or less 464%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 460 2GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 282960 (464%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6750 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 120160 (689%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
