GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon RX 470

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 470, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 926 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1650 MHz on this card. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		144000 MB/sec
	Difference: 67200 (47%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 470 is quite a bit (about 189%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		118528 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		40992 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 77536 (189%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 470 is the winner, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		29632 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 352 (1%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
