GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which features GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 2304 Stream Processors, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 169200 (85%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is much (about 35%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5600 XT, and also able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30800 (35%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If 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, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
