The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should in theory perform a small bit faster than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		516096 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 57344 (13%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be a lot (about 106%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 285600 (106%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is much (more or less 72%) more effective at AA than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 77280 (72%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out 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 video 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 number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output 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.
