Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5600 XT should in theory be a lot superior to the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 81920 (31%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be quite a bit (more or less 23%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 46264 (23%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is just a bit (about 17%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 5600 XT, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14848 (17%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its 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 card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
