GeForce GTX 650 Ti vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with core clock speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		110 Watts
	Difference: 30 Watts (38%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 560 should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 28288 (33%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 is quite a bit (approximately 27%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 15808 (27%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 560 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3952 (27%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
