GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1680 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2560 Stream Processors, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 168000 (63%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should be much (more or less 42%) better at AA than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, and also capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		152880 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45360 (42%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
