GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which features a core clock speed of 1717 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 1408 SPUs, 88 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5500 XT will be 59% quicker than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		144000 MB/sec
	Difference: 85376 (59%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT will be quite a bit (more or less 269%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		40992 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 110104 (269%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 25664 (88%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends 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.
