VS

Geforce GTX 770 vs Radeon RX 590

Intro

The Geforce GTX 770 comes with core clock speeds of 1046 MHz on the GPU, and 1753 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 1536 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Compare that to the Radeon RX 590, which comes with a clock speed of 1469 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 12 nm design. It features 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Geforce GTX 770 224384 MB/sec
Difference: 37760 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 590 should be a lot (about 58%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 770. (explain)

Radeon RX 590 211536 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 770 133888 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 77648 (58%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 590 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 590 47008 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 770 33472 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 13536 (40%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, 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 maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
