Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce GTX 570		219 Watts
	Difference: 59 Watts (37%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 XT should be 126% faster than the GeForce GTX 570 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 570		152000 MB/sec
	Difference: 192064 (126%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is a lot (more or less 351%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 570. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 154080 (351%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be a lot (about 201%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 570, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 58720 (201%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
