GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon RX 6500 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which comes with GPU core speed of 2200 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2250 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up 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 560 Ti 448		210 Watts
	Difference: 103 Watts (96%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6500 XT should be 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 should be much (more or less 243%) better at AF 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

The Radeon RX 6500 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 140%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
