GeForce GTX Titan Black vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600, which has a clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 41088 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black should be a lot (approximately 21%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 37360 (21%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the GeForce GTX Titan Black, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45328 (106%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
