GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 822 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1002 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Compare that to the Radeon RX 560, which features a core clock frequency of 1175 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also features 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.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560 80 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 170 Watts
Difference: 90 Watts (113%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should be just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 560 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti 128256 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560 114688 MB/sec
Difference: 13568 (12%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 will be quite a bit (more or less 43%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 560 75200 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 52608 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 22592 (43%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti 26304 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560 18800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 7504 (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
