GeForce GTX Titan vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500, which has GPU core speed of 1670 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1408 Stream Processors, 88 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX Titan should theoretically perform much faster than the Radeon RX 5500 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 59008 (26%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan should be much (more or less 28%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 5500. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 40528 (28%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 is quite a bit (approximately 33%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX Titan, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13264 (33%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 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, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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 the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
