GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1825 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this model. It features 4608 SPUs along with 288 Texture Address Units and 128 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
Radeon RX 6800 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 120 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6800 XT is 100% faster than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		524288 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 262144 (100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT is much (approximately 115%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		525600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 281336 (115%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT will be quite a bit (about 127%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 130752 (127%)

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 largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, 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 calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
