GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5500, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1670 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

The Radeon RX 5500 is much (more or less 147%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 87568 (147%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 is superior to the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38592 (260%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
