Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 390 8G vs Radeon RX 5700 XT
IntroThe Radeon R9 390 8G makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 TAUs and 64 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which has a core clock frequency of 1605 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5700 XT should in theory be a small bit superior to the Radeon R9 390 8G in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 5700 XT is quite a bit (about 61%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 390 8G. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 5700 XT will be quite a bit (about 61%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 390 8G, and should be able to handle higher 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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen 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 number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
