GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which has GPU core speed of 1465 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		200 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (11%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5700, in theory, should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		(Unknown) MB/sec
	Difference: 458752 (-100%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a little bit (more or less 2%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		214320 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3360 (2%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the winner, though not by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		112800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 19040 (20%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
