GeForce GTX 570 vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which features core clock speeds of 1717 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		130 Watts
GeForce GTX 570		219 Watts
	Difference: 89 Watts (68%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5500 XT should in theory be much better than the GeForce GTX 570 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 570		152000 MB/sec
	Difference: 77376 (51%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should be much (more or less 244%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 570. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 107176 (244%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT is quite a bit (approximately 88%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 570, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
