GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which features a core clock speed of 1465 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 5700 should theoretically be a lot better 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 just a bit (more or less 16%) faster with regards to 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 a better choice, but only just. (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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better 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 can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better 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 that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
