Geforce GTX 690 vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 2150 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 2250 MHz on this particular card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Geforce GTX 690		384512 MB/sec
	Difference: 57856 (15%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is a lot (approximately 47%) more effective at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 690. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 690		234240 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 109760 (47%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT should be much (about 135%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Geforce GTX 690, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 690		58560 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 79040 (135%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should 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, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
