GeForce GTX 570 vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700, which has GPU clock speed of 1465 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 570		152000 MB/sec
	Difference: 306752 (202%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 should be much (more or less 380%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 570. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 167040 (380%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 will be quite a bit (about 220%) better at AA than the GeForce GTX 570, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 64480 (220%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
