GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs Radeon RX 6900 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1825 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 2000 MHz on this specific card. It features 5120 SPUs as well as 320 Texture Address Units and 128 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		200 Watts
Radeon RX 6900 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (50%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 6900 XT should theoretically be just a bit better than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		(Unknown) MB/sec
	Difference: 524288 (-100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT will be quite a bit (about 172%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		214320 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 369680 (172%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should be quite a bit (more or less 107%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		112800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 120800 (107%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
