Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1717 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5500 XT		130 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (31%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5500 XT, in theory, should be just a bit faster than the Geforce GTX 760 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		229376 MB/sec
Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
	Difference: 37120 (19%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should be quite a bit (about 61%) more effective at AF than the Geforce GTX 760. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 57016 (61%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT will be a lot (about 75%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Geforce GTX 760, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23584 (75%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
