GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare that 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 memory runs at a speed of 2250 MHz on this card. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3		47 Watts
Radeon RX 6750 XT		250 Watts
	Difference: 203 Watts (432%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6750 XT is 1875% faster than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		442368 MB/sec
GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3		22400 MB/sec
	Difference: 419968 (1875%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is quite a bit (approximately 3881%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3		8640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 335360 (3881%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT will be a lot (about 3085%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3		4320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 133280 (3085%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 chip can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure 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 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
