The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be a lot (more or less 127%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 470 4GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition 268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 470 4GB 118528 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 150272 (127%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is quite a bit (approximately 263%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 470 4GB, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition 107520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 470 4GB 29632 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 77888 (263%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. 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 lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
