GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 131072 (50%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will be much (approximately 52%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 127096 (52%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45696 (44%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one 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 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
