VS

Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

The Geforce GTX 780 comes with core speeds of 863 MHz on the GPU, and 1502 MHz on the 3072 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 192 TAUs and 48 ROPs.

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

Geforce GTX 780 288384 MB/sec
Difference: 6528 (2%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be a bit (about 6%) better at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 780. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 176000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 780 165696 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 10304 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 88000 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 780 41424 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 46576 (112%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
