GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which comes with a clock frequency of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also features a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce GTX 780 Ti		250 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should theoretically be just a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 780 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 780 Ti		336000 MB/sec
	Difference: 8064 (2%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 780 Ti should be a bit (about 6%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce GTX 780 Ti		210000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12000 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 780 Ti		42000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46000 (110%)

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 max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
