Geforce GTX 770 vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

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

Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
Geforce GTX 770		230 Watts
	Difference: 80 Watts (53%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5500 should theoretically be a little bit superior to the Geforce GTX 770 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 770		224384 MB/sec
	Difference: 4992 (2%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 should be a bit (approximately 10%) better at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 770. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 770		133888 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 13072 (10%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 770		33472 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 19968 (60%)

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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
