GeForce GTX Titan vs Radeon RX 6500 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which has GPU core speed of 2200 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2250 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1024 Stream Processors, 64 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		107 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan		250 Watts
	Difference: 143 Watts (134%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX Titan should be 96% faster than the Radeon RX 6500 XT in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6500 XT		147456 MB/sec
	Difference: 140928 (96%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX Titan should be a lot (approximately 33%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 6500 XT. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 6500 XT		140800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 46688 (33%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6500 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX Titan, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		70400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 30224 (75%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
