Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1717 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1408 SPUs, 88 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		130 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (31%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5500 XT will be 19% faster than the Geforce GTX 760 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 61%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 57016 (61%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT is quite a bit (more or less 75%) more effective at AA than the Geforce GTX 760, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23584 (75%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR 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 by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
