Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		200 Watts
Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
	Difference: 30 Watts (15%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6700 XT should be -100% quicker than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		(Unknown) MB/sec
	Difference: 393216 (-100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is much (approximately 73%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		214320 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 157040 (73%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is quite a bit (approximately 32%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		112800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35744 (32%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 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 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 number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
