GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 570, which comes with GPU core speed of 1168 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 570 should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 560 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 570		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560		128128 MB/sec
	Difference: 101248 (79%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 570 is quite a bit (more or less 230%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 560. (explain)

Radeon RX 570		149504 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		45360 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 104144 (230%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 570 is superior to the GeForce GTX 560, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 570		37376 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		25920 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 11456 (44%)

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 in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the 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 amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
