GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which has a core clock speed of 1175 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 1024 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (125%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be 129% quicker than the Radeon RX 560 overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 147456 (129%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be a lot (more or less 225%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 169064 (225%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 84048 (447%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
