GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 560, which has core speeds of 1175 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (113%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be 12% quicker than the Radeon RX 560 overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 13568 (12%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 should be a lot (about 43%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 22592 (43%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7504 (40%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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