GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which comes with GPU clock speed of 2321 MHz, and (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 660 Ti		150 Watts
Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
	Difference: 80 Watts (53%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX 6700 XT should be a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti		144000 MB/sec
	Difference: 249216 (173%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be much (approximately 262%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 268880 (262%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti		21960 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 126584 (576%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
