GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should theoretically be a small bit superior to the Radeon RX 5700 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is quite a bit (approximately 163%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 343440 (163%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 91040 (97%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a 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 calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
