GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600, which features clock speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 335872 (114%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 109%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		367200 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 191200 (109%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will be much (about 35%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5600, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30800 (35%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of 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.
