	Difference: 192064 (126%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be a lot (approximately 351%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 570. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 154080 (351%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is a lot (more or less 201%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 570, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling 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 video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
