GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6800, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1700 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this specific model. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 Texture Address Units and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		(Unknown) MB/sec
	Difference: 524288 (-100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 should be much (about 90%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		214320 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 193680 (90%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 is a lot (about 45%) more effective at AA than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		112800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 50400 (45%)

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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
