GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5500, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1670 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 1408 SPUs as well as 88 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		110 Watts
Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5500 should be much faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 142976 (165%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 will be quite a bit (about 147%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 87568 (147%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 should be a lot (more or less 260%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38592 (260%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
