Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition vs Radeon RX Vega 56

Intro

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition comes with a core clock speed of 1680 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX Vega 56, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1156 MHz. The HBM2 memory runs at a speed of 1600 MHz on this specific card. It features 3584 SPUs as well as 224 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 are processed per second. This number is worked out 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 video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount 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 number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
