Radeon R9 390 8G vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

The Radeon R9 390 8G has a core clock frequency of 1000 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 512-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which comes with GPU clock speed of 2150 MHz, and 12288 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2250 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2560 Stream Processors, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out 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 drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
