GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1500 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		250 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will be 83% faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		630784 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 286720 (83%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti should be quite a bit (about 85%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		367200 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 169200 (85%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti		118800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30800 (35%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core 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 many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
