Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 vs Radeon RX 7900 XT
IntroThe GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 has a GPU core speed of 540 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM is set to run at 700 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 32 Stream Processors, 16 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon RX 7900 XT, which comes with GPU core speed of 1500 MHz, and 20480 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 2500 MHz through a 320-bit bus. It also is comprised of 5376 Stream Processors, 336 TAUs, and 192 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 7900 XT should theoretically be a lot faster than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 7900 XT will be much (about 5733%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 7900 XT will be a lot (more or less 6567%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 8600 GT 1GB GDDR3, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core 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 applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
