VS

Radeon RX 560 vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

The Radeon RX 560 has a GPU clock speed of 1175 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 1024 Stream Processors, 64 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which comes with core clock speeds of 1968 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 560 114688 MB/sec
Difference: 147456 (129%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 235%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT 251904 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560 75200 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 176704 (235%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT is quite a bit (about 570%) better at FSAA than the Radeon RX 560, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT 125952 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560 18800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 107152 (570%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling 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 the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
