GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 560, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 508211 (443%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is quite a bit (about 302%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 227200 (302%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 132400 (704%)

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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
