GeForce GTX Titan Black vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which has a core clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX Titan Black		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 8064 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black will be a little bit (more or less 8%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 15360 (8%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is quite a bit (approximately 106%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX Titan Black, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45328 (106%)

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 data (measured in megabytes 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. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling 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 can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
