GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5500, which comes with clock speeds of 1670 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 750		55 Watts
Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (173%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5500 should in theory be a lot better than the GeForce GTX 750 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 750		80000 MB/sec
	Difference: 149376 (187%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 should be quite a bit (more or less 350%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 750. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 114320 (350%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37120 (227%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
