GeForce GTX 570 vs Radeon RX 6600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1626 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 1792 SPUs as well as 112 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 570		152000 MB/sec
	Difference: 77376 (51%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 is a lot (approximately 315%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 570. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		182112 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		43920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 138192 (315%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		104064 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 570		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 74784 (255%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
