Geforce GTX 780 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Geforce GTX 780		165696 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 32304 (19%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be much (about 112%) more effective at FSAA than the Geforce GTX 780, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
