GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which features a core clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also features a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 660 Ti		144000 MB/sec
	Difference: 200064 (139%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be quite a bit (about 93%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 95520 (93%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
