GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 580

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti comes with clock speeds of 1607 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2432 SPUs as well as 152 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 580, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1257 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 180 Watts
Radeon RX 580 185 Watts
Difference: 5 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should have identical performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is quite a bit (approximately 35%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 580. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 580 181008 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 63256 (35%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be much (more or less 156%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon RX 580, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 580 40224 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 62624 (156%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

These stats are a bit misleading. I've seen both cards in action, in the real world watching actual games. You really wouldn`t tell the cards apart if you had to guess which computer had the Nvidia compared to the Radeon. The only difference is the NVidia card will hit your wallet harder.

Kingy B says:

Oh now Sam, overclock both cards and the Nvidia 1070 TI will run all over that AMD and spit it out. All while using less energy and producing less heat..
