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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (more or less 87%) faster with regards to 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 (approximately 181%) better at AA than the Geforce GTX 760, and able to handle higher resolutions better. (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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
