GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

	Difference: 590233 (172%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be a lot (more or less 121%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		436800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 238800 (121%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be a lot (approximately 74%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 5600 XT, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		152880 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 64880 (74%)

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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel 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.
