GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5500, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1670 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 97304 (66%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is superior to the Radeon RX 5500, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 49408 (92%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
