Geforce GTX 1080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600, which features GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 200704 (68%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should be a lot (about 88%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		331520 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 155520 (88%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is superior to the Radeon RX 5600, and very much so. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		130240 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 42240 (48%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs 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 fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
