	Difference: 279552 (156%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is a lot (about 312%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 194400 (312%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 71520 (229%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
