GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which features GPU clock speed of 1605 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2560 Stream Processors, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		285 Watts
	Difference: 60 Watts (27%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be 13% quicker than the Radeon RX 5700 XT overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 116%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 297600 (116%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will be a lot (about 80%) more effective at AA than the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and should be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 82080 (80%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
