Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which features GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 14000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2304 Stream Processors, 144 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Geforce GTX 780		165696 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 32304 (19%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is superior to the Geforce GTX 780, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 780		41424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46576 (112%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of 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.
