GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1680 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM 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 560 Ti		170 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		235 Watts
	Difference: 65 Watts (38%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be 258% faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
	Difference: 330496 (258%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition will be quite a bit (about 411%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 216192 (411%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be a lot (more or less 309%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 81216 (309%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
