Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 580 3GB vs Radeon RX 6600
IntroThe GeForce GTX 580 3GB has core clock speeds of 772 MHz on the GPU, and 1002 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 512 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1626 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 1792 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthThe Radeon RX 6600 should theoretically perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6600 should be quite a bit (approximately 269%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 580 3GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 is superior to the GeForce GTX 580 3GB, and very much so. (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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel 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 max fill rate.
