GeForce GTX 650 Ti vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

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

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 142976 (165%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT is a lot (approximately 154%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 91704 (154%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 40096 (270%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high 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 number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many 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.
