Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
Geforce GTX 780		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 will be 2% faster than the Geforce GTX 780 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 780		288384 MB/sec
	Difference: 6528 (2%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be a bit (approximately 6%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 780. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 780		165696 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 10304 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the Geforce GTX 780, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 780		41424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46576 (112%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at 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 that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
