Radeon RX 5600 XT vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 570, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1168 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 570		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 114688 (50%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be a lot (about 32%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 570. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 570		149504 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 48496 (32%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 570		37376 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 50624 (135%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
