GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator 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

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 XT will be 75% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general, because of its higher data rate. (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 is a bit (more or less 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 high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a better choice, though only just barely. (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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
