GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which has core speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce GTX 780 Ti		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti will be 14% faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce GTX 780 Ti		336000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 41088 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 780 Ti will be just a bit (more or less 19%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce GTX 780 Ti		210000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 34000 (19%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is superior to the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the 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 core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
