GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which has core clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should be a lot (more or less 107%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		436800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 225840 (107%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be a lot (more or less 63%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti		152880 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 59120 (63%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs 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 quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
