Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5500, which features a clock frequency of 1670 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 1408 SPUs, 88 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX 5500 should perform a little bit faster than the Geforce GTX 760 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
	Difference: 37120 (19%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 will be a lot (about 56%) more effective at AF than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 52880 (56%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 is superior to the Geforce GTX 760, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22080 (70%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 are applied per 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 better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
