GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600, which comes with core speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 148%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		436800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 260800 (148%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be quite a bit (about 74%) better at FSAA than the Radeon RX 5600, and capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		152880 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 64880 (74%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high 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 number of texture units of the card 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
