AMD Radeon RX 570
About GPU
The AMD Radeon RX 570 is a solid mid-range GPU that offers great performance for its price. With a base clock of 1168MHz and a boost clock of 1244MHz, it provides a smooth gaming experience for most modern titles at 1080p resolution. The 4GB GDDR5 memory clocked at 1750MHz ensures that you can handle most games without any issues.
With 2048 shading units and 2MB L2 cache, the RX 570 is powerful enough to handle even the most demanding games. The theoretical performance of 5.095 TFLOPS is impressive for a mid-range GPU and is further exemplified by its 3DMark Time Spy score of 3875.
In real-world performance, the RX 570 shines as well. In popular titles such as GTA 5, it can handle 1080p resolution at a smooth 100 fps. Even in more graphically demanding games such as Battlefield 5 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, it maintains respectable frame rates of 69 fps and 52 fps, respectively.
It is important to note that the RX 570 has a TDP of 150W, which may require a more powerful power supply in some cases. However, in terms of performance per watt, the RX 570 is quite efficient.
In conclusion, the AMD Radeon RX 570 is a great choice for gamers who are looking for a budget-friendly GPU that can handle modern games at 1080p resolution with high frame rates. With its impressive performance and affordable price, it is a solid option for those looking to build a mid-range gaming PC.

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.
39.81 GPixel/s
Texture Rate
?
Texture fill rate refers to the number of texture map elements (texels) that a GPU can map to pixels in a single second.

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.
