GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which has core clock speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12000 (6%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be a lot (about 110%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, and able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 780 Ti		42000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46000 (110%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
