GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

The GeForce GTX 660 Ti has a core clock frequency of 915 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 1344 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 24 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which features core speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 660 Ti 150 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT 160 Watts
Difference: 10 Watts (7%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5600 XT will be 139% quicker than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT 344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 660 Ti 144000 MB/sec
Difference: 200064 (139%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be quite a bit (about 93%) more effective at AF 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 high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 XT is a better choice, by far. (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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at 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 video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
