GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which has core clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5700 should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 196608 (75%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a little bit (about 16%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 33304 (16%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the winner, but not by far. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9088 (10%)

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 max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
