Geforce GTX 670 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600, which features clock speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
Geforce GTX 670		170 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX 5600 should perform a lot faster than the Geforce GTX 670 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 670		192000 MB/sec
	Difference: 102912 (54%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is much (about 72%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 670. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 73520 (72%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is quite a bit (more or less 201%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Geforce GTX 670, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 58720 (201%)

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
