Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 295X2 vs Radeon RX 6900 XT
IntroThe Radeon R9 295X2 makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1018 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a frequency of 1250 MHz on this specific model. It features 2816 SPUs as well as 176 TAUs and 64 ROPs.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which has a core clock speed of 1825 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 5120 SPUs, 320 TAUs, and 128 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 295X2 should be a lot faster than the Radeon RX 6900 XT in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6900 XT is much (about 63%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 295X2. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6900 XT is a better choice, by far. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
