GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

	Difference: 70 Watts (39%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will be 38% quicker than the Radeon RX 5700 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		630784 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 172032 (38%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is much (about 74%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		367200 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 156240 (74%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 25040 (27%)

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 max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. 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 memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
