GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6600, which has GPU core speed of 1626 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 1792 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 6600		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 393523 (172%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 66%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 6600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 6600		182112 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 120288 (66%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 6600		104064 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 47136 (45%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once 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 anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
