GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 2150 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 2250 MHz on this specific card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 6750 XT		250 Watts
	Difference: 203 Watts (432%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 6750 XT should theoretically be a lot superior to the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 in general. (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 will be much (approximately 3881%) more effective at 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 is quite a bit (approximately 3085%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video 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 most pixels that 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 colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
