GeForce GTX Titan Black vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 560, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 138160 (184%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black is a lot (approximately 127%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 560, and able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23872 (127%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write 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 the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
