GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 480

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti uses a 16 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1607 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 2432 SPUs along with 152 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 480, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be much (more or less 51%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 480. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 480 161280 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 82984 (51%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 480 35840 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 67008 (187%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
