GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon RX 470

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 470, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 926 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 1650 MHz on this model. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 470 is superior to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		29632 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 352 (1%)

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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 are processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
