GeForce GTX Titan vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which has a core clock speed of 2055 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 2190 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		176 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan		250 Watts
	Difference: 74 Watts (42%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX Titan should perform a little bit faster than the Radeon RX 6650 XT overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6650 XT		287072 MB/sec
	Difference: 1312 (0%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT is quite a bit (more or less 40%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 75552 (40%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX Titan, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 91344 (227%)

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 transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
