Radeon RX 7900 XTX		355 Watts
	Difference: 175 Watts (97%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX will be 275% faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XTX		983040 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 720896 (275%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 7900 XTX should be quite a bit (about 192%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XTX		712320 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 468056 (192%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is quite a bit (more or less 246%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XTX		356160 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 253312 (246%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the 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 the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
