GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon RX 6500 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which uses a 6 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 2200 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 2250 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		107 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		210 Watts
	Difference: 103 Watts (96%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6500 XT is 2% faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		147456 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		144000 MB/sec
	Difference: 3456 (2%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is quite a bit (more or less 243%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		140800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		40992 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 99808 (243%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6500 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6500 XT		70400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448		29280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 41120 (140%)

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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If 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 processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
