Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan Black		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX Titan Black is 14% faster than the Radeon RX 5600 overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		336000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 41088 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan Black will be much (more or less 21%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan Black		213360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 37360 (21%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (approximately 106%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX Titan Black, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45328 (106%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
