Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1968 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 6600 XT		251904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 65504 (26%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is a bit (approximately 8%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 6600 XT, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 6600 XT		125952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 10080 (8%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant 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 max fill rate.
