Geforce GTX 1080 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 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 1792 Stream Processors, 112 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 6600		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 266240 (116%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 1080 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 82%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 6600. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		331520 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 6600		182112 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 149408 (82%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Geforce GTX 1080 Ti		130240 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 6600		104064 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 26176 (25%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number 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 graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
