AMD Radeon RX 560X
The AMD Radeon RX 560X is a mid-range graphics processing unit designed for desktop systems. With a base clock speed of 1175MHz and a boost clock speed of 1275MHz, this GPU offers decent performance for gaming and other graphics-intensive tasks. The 4GB of GDDR5 memory and a memory clock speed of 1750MHz provide ample memory bandwidth for smooth gameplay and multitasking.
With 1024 shading units and 1024KB of L2 cache, the RX 560X is capable of handling modern games at 1080p resolution with reasonable frame rates. The TDP of 75W makes it a relatively power-efficient option, meaning it won't put too much strain on your system's power supply.
In terms of actual performance, the RX 560X boasts a theoretical performance of 2.611 TFLOPS, which translates to smooth gaming experiences in most titles, as well as the ability to handle content creation and editing tasks with relative ease.
Overall, the AMD Radeon RX 560X offers a good balance of performance and value for budget-conscious gamers and content creators. While it may not be able to run the latest AAA titles at ultra-high settings, it is more than capable of delivering a satisfying gaming experience at medium to high settings. If you're looking for a mid-range GPU that won't break the bank, the RX 560X is definitely worth considering.

TMUs
?
Texture Mapping Units (TMUs) serve as components of the GPU, which are capable of rotating, scaling, and distorting binary images, and then placing them as textures onto any plane of a given 3D model. This process is called texture mapping.

Memory Bus
?
The memory bus width refers to the number of bits of data that the video memory can transfer within a single clock cycle. The larger the bus width, the greater the amount of data that can be transmitted instantaneously, making it one of the crucial parameters of video memory. The memory bandwidth is calculated as: Memory Bandwidth = Memory Frequency x Memory Bus Width / 8. Therefore, when the memory frequencies are similar, the memory bus width will determine the size of the memory bandwidth.

Bandwidth
?
Memory bandwidth refers to the data transfer rate between the graphics chip and the video memory. It is measured in bytes per second, and the formula to calculate it is: memory bandwidth = working frequency × memory bus width / 8 bits.

Pixel Rate
?
Pixel fill rate refers to the number of pixels a graphics processing unit (GPU) can render per second, measured in MPixels/s (million pixels per second) or GPixels/s (billion pixels per second). It is the most commonly used metric to evaluate the pixel processing performance of a graphics card.

FP16 (half)
?
An important metric for measuring GPU performance is floating-point computing capability. Half-precision floating-point numbers (16-bit) are used for applications like machine learning, where lower precision is acceptable. Single-precision floating-point numbers (32-bit) are used for common multimedia and graphics processing tasks, while double-precision floating-point numbers (64-bit) are required for scientific computing that demands a wide numeric range and high accuracy.

ROPs
?
The Raster Operations Pipeline (ROPs) is primarily responsible for handling lighting and reflection calculations in games, as well as managing effects like anti-aliasing (AA), high resolution, smoke, and fire. The more demanding the anti-aliasing and lighting effects in a game, the higher the performance requirements for the ROPs; otherwise, it may result in a sharp drop in frame rate.
