GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6800, which has GPU core speed of 1700 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 3840 SPUs, 240 Texture Address Units, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 262144 (100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 is quite a bit (approximately 67%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 163736 (67%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 will be much (more or less 59%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60352 (59%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
