GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti comes with core speeds of 1607 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 2432 SPUs as well as 152 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6800, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1700 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 2000 MHz on this particular card. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 96 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
