GeForce GTX 650 Ti vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1968 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a speed of 2000 MHz on this card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 650 Ti		110 Watts
Radeon RX 6600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (45%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6600 XT should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		262144 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		86400 MB/sec
	Difference: 175744 (203%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT will be a lot (more or less 324%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GTX 650 Ti. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		125952 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 650 Ti		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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
