GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6600, which has a core clock frequency of 1626 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 1792 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 6600		132 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 48 Watts (36%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should be just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 6600 in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6600		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 32768 (14%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a lot (approximately 34%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 6600. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 6600		182112 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 62152 (34%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 is superior to the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, though only just barely. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		104064 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1216 (1%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill 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.
