Geforce GTX 670 vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which features core speeds of 1825 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 4608 SPUs along with 288 TAUs and 128 Rasterization Operator Units.

Geforce GTX 670		192000 MB/sec
	Difference: 332288 (173%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT should be a lot (more or less 413%) better at texture filtering than the Geforce GTX 670. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		525600 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		102480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 423120 (413%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 XT is superior to the Geforce GTX 670, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 670		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 204320 (698%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure 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 video 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
