GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon RX 6600

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6600, which features a core clock frequency of 1626 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 1792 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 560		128128 MB/sec
	Difference: 101248 (79%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 should be quite a bit (approximately 301%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		182112 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		45360 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 136752 (301%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600		104064 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		25920 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 78144 (301%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should 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 texture map elements (texels) that are 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 graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

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