Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 480 4GB vs Radeon RX 6600
IntroThe Radeon RX 480 4GB uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon RX 6600, which has clock speeds of 1626 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 1792 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so in theory they should have identical performance. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6600 will be a bit (about 13%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 480 4GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 6600 will be a lot (about 190%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 480 4GB, and also capable of handling higher screen 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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred 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, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant 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 maximum fill rate.
