Nvidia Titan X vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which features a core clock frequency of 1968 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 6600 XT		251904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 65504 (26%)

Pixel Rate

The Nvidia Titan X is a bit (about 8%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 6600 XT, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
