Geforce GTX 670 vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Geforce GTX 670		170 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
	Difference: 55 Watts (32%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 XT is 139% quicker than the Geforce GTX 670 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		458752 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 670		192000 MB/sec
	Difference: 266752 (139%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT should be much (approximately 151%) faster with regards to AF than the Geforce GTX 670. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 154320 (151%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 73440 (251%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
