Geforce GTX 770 vs Radeon RX 6500 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which has a GPU core clock speed of 2200 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2250 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 1024 Stream Processors, 64 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 6500 XT		147456 MB/sec
	Difference: 76928 (52%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6500 XT should be a small bit (about 5%) more effective at AF than the Geforce GTX 770. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		140800 Mtexels/sec
Geforce GTX 770		133888 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 6912 (5%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6500 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		70400 Mpixels/sec
Geforce GTX 770		33472 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 36928 (110%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. 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 rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
