Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600, which has a clock frequency of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit memory bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 should in theory perform much faster than the Geforce GTX 760 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
	Difference: 102656 (53%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is a lot (more or less 87%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, and very much so. (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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core 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 processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour 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 many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
