Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
	Difference: 102656 (53%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be quite a bit (approximately 87%) more effective at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 81920 (87%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is a lot (about 181%) more effective at FSAA than the Geforce GTX 760, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 56640 (181%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its 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 clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
