GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon HD 5570

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 5570, which has GPU clock speed of 650 MHz, and 512 MB of DDR3 memory running at 900 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 400(80x5) SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Radeon HD 5570		13000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 150800 (1160%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 is superior to the Radeon HD 5570, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 5570		5200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60320 (1160%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. 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 also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
