Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 295X2 vs Radeon RX 6950 XT
IntroThe Radeon R9 295X2 uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1018 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1250 MHz on this specific card. It features 2816 SPUs as well as 176 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1925 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 2250 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 5120 SPUs, 320 TAUs, and 128 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 295X2, in theory, should perform a little bit faster than the Radeon RX 6950 XT overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6950 XT is much (about 72%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 295X2. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 6950 XT should be much (more or less 89%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R9 295X2, and also able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)
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. One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
