GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 6600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6600, which features a core clock speed of 1626 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 1792 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 6600		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 114688 (50%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 is just a bit (about 11%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		182112 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 18312 (11%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 is much (more or less 59%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		104064 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 38544 (59%)

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 max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the 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 are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
