GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5700, which comes with clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 5700 should in theory be quite a bit superior to the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 196608 (75%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be a little bit (more or less 16%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 33304 (16%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is superior to the Radeon RX 5700, though only just barely. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9088 (10%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on 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 reach the maximum fill rate.
