GeForce GTX 650 Ti vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare that 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 card. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

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

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5500 should be 165% quicker than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 should be a lot (about 147%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 should be quite a bit (about 260%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface 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 higher the card's 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 worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
