GeForce GTX 570 vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which features 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 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be much (about 351%) faster with regards to texture filtering 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 quite a bit (approximately 201%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 570, and will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
