GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 98304 (33%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be quite a bit (more or less 158%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 227360 (158%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is quite a bit (about 106%) faster with regards to AA than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 76544 (106%)

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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has 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, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core 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 fill 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 potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
