GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
	Difference: 10 Watts (6%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
	Difference: 330496 (258%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 is much (more or less 301%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 158352 (301%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 67456 (256%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
