GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1968 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 2000 MHz on this specific card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
Radeon RX 6600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 85 Watts (113%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6600 XT should be 129% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		262144 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 147456 (129%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT should be much (about 307%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		251904 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 189984 (307%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		125952 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 84672 (205%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on 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 ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
