GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of 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 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 560		150 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 10 Watts (7%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 XT should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 560 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560		128128 MB/sec
	Difference: 215936 (169%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be a lot (more or less 337%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 560. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		45360 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 152640 (337%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is much (more or less 240%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 560, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		25920 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 62080 (240%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
