GeForce 8800 GT 512MB vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 2150 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 2250 MHz on this particular card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 8800 GT 512MB		105 Watts
Radeon RX 6750 XT		250 Watts
	Difference: 145 Watts (138%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6750 XT is 668% quicker than the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		442368 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 512MB		57600 MB/sec
	Difference: 384768 (668%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT will be quite a bit (about 924%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 512MB		33600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 310400 (924%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT should be quite a bit (about 1333%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB, and will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GT 512MB		9600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 128000 (1333%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR 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 texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

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