GeForce GTX 1070		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 131072 (50%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will be much (about 105%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		180720 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 190640 (105%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 54%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1070, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070		96384 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 52160 (54%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling 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 the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
