Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1968 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 2000 MHz on this model. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		160 Watts
Nvidia Titan X		250 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Nvidia Titan X should theoretically be much superior to the Radeon RX 6600 XT overall. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		491520 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6600 XT		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 229376 (88%)

Texel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X should be much (approximately 26%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 6600 XT. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		317408 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 6600 XT		251904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 65504 (26%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is just a bit (about 8%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 6600 XT, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Nvidia Titan X		136032 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 6600 XT		125952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 10080 (8%)

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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

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