GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 30 Watts (20%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 should be 13% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (13%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be much (more or less 39%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 68264 (39%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a bit (more or less 17%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5600, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14848 (17%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. 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 fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
