GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which features GPU core speed of 1605 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
	Difference: 45 Watts (25%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5700 XT is 75% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT should be a little bit (about 5%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12536 (5%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is superior to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, but only just. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 128 (0%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
