GeForce GTX 970 vs Radeon RX 6750 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 2150 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 2250 MHz on this model. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 970		145 Watts
Radeon RX 6750 XT		250 Watts
	Difference: 105 Watts (72%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 6750 XT, in theory, should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 970 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		442368 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 970		224000 MB/sec
	Difference: 218368 (97%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is a lot (about 215%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 970. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		344000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 970		109200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 234800 (215%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6750 XT will be quite a bit (more or less 105%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 970, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6750 XT		137600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 970		67200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 70400 (105%)

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 max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number 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 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 most pixels the video card could 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 colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
