Radeon R7 240 vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which has a clock speed of 2150 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 2250 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon R7 240		30 Watts
Radeon RX 6750 XT		250 Watts
	Difference: 220 Watts (733%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6750 XT should be 1436% faster than the Radeon R7 240 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		442368 MB/sec
Radeon R7 240		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 413568 (1436%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT will be a lot (more or less 2256%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 240		14600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 329400 (2256%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6750 XT is superior to the Radeon R7 240, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 240		5840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 131760 (2256%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
