GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon RX 6500 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which makes use of a 6 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 2200 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 2250 MHz on this specific card. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		107 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
	Difference: 63 Watts (59%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6500 XT should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		147456 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
	Difference: 19200 (15%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6500 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 168%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		140800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 88192 (168%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6500 XT is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		70400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 44096 (168%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
