GeForce GTX 750 vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1717 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 1408 SPUs, 88 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 750		55 Watts
Radeon RX 5500 XT		130 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (136%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5500 XT should be 187% faster than the GeForce GTX 750 overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT is quite a bit (approximately 363%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 750. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		32640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 118456 (363%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should be a lot (approximately 237%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTX 750, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 750		16320 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38624 (237%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
