GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti features core speeds of 1365 MHz on the GPU, and 1188 MHz on the 12288 MB of GDDR6X memory. It features 10240 SPUs along with 320 Texture Address Units and 112 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5600 XT 344064 MB/sec
Difference: 590233 (172%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is quite a bit (approximately 121%) more effective at AF 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

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR 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 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
