GeForce GTX Titan Black vs Radeon RX 6600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6600, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1626 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 1792 SPUs along with 112 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 6600		182112 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 31248 (17%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 should be quite a bit (about 144%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX Titan Black, and also capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		104064 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan Black		42672 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 61392 (144%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can 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 the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
