GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which features a GPU core clock speed of 2321 MHz, and (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

	Difference: 50 Watts (28%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6700 XT is 50% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general, because of its greater 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 will be a lot (about 52%) more effective at 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

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is the winner, by far. (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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one 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 - also called 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 bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
