Radeon RX 560 vs Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition

Intro

The Radeon RX 560 comes with a core clock frequency of 1175 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 1024 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, which has a core clock speed of 1680 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560 80 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition 235 Watts
Difference: 155 Watts (194%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition will be 300% quicker than the Radeon RX 560 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition 458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560 114688 MB/sec
Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be much (more or less 257%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition 268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560 75200 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 193600 (257%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition 107520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560 18800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 88720 (472%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it must 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
