Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which has a core clock frequency of 1717 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 1408 SPUs, 88 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		130 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (31%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5500 XT will be 19% faster than the Geforce GTX 760 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		229376 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
	Difference: 37120 (19%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should be much (more or less 61%) more effective at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 57016 (61%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 XT is superior to the Geforce GTX 760, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23584 (75%)

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 max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
