GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5500, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1670 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5500		150 Watts
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		285 Watts
	Difference: 135 Watts (90%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will be 125% quicker than the Radeon RX 5500 overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		516096 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 286720 (125%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will be a lot (more or less 277%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 5500. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 407440 (277%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is quite a bit (more or less 246%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5500, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 131360 (246%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
