GeForce GTX 1080 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which has GPU core speed of 2321 MHz, and (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 1080		327680 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (20%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is quite a bit (approximately 44%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 1080. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1080		257120 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 114240 (44%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is a lot (approximately 44%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1080, and will be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1080		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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's 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 bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
