GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this specific model. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will be 114% faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		630784 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 335872 (114%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is much (more or less 109%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		367200 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 191200 (109%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30800 (35%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface 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 ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

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