GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 2321 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 2000 MHz on this particular model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 68960 (23%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is a better choice, but only just. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2656 (2%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

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