GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which has GPU core speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5600, in theory, should be much faster than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti		144000 MB/sec
	Difference: 150912 (105%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 will be quite a bit (more or less 72%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 73520 (72%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 is quite a bit (approximately 301%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti		21960 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 66040 (301%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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 chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
