GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

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

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

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 XT should be 31% faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general, due to its greater data rate. (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 is much (about 23%) better 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

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a better choice, though not by far. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
