Geforce GTX 670 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be quite a bit (approximately 72%) faster with regards to AF than the Geforce GTX 670. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 73520 (72%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be much (approximately 201%) more effective at AA than the Geforce GTX 670, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 58720 (201%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
