GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (28%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6700 XT is 50% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 131072 (50%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is much (about 52%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 127096 (52%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be quite a bit (about 44%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45696 (44%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out 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 video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could 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 the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
