Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6750 XT		442368 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (4%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT should be a lot (about 28%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 75200 (28%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is quite a bit (approximately 28%) better at AA than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30080 (28%)

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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
