GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1968 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 2000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 175744 (203%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT should be a lot (approximately 324%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		251904 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		59392 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 192512 (324%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 XT is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		125952 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB		14848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 111104 (748%)

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 is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock 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 output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
