GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1500 MHz on this specific card. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should be a lot (approximately 39%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 68264 (39%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the winner, but only just. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14848 (17%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
