GeForce GTX Titan vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 should be 2% quicker than the GeForce GTX Titan in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan should be a little bit (about 7%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 11488 (7%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be quite a bit (approximately 119%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX Titan, and able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 47824 (119%)

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 MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
