GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which features a core clock frequency of 2055 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 2190 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		176 Watts
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		200 Watts
	Difference: 24 Watts (14%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6650 XT is -100% quicker than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		287072 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		(Unknown) MB/sec
	Difference: 287072 (-100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT will be much (approximately 23%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		214320 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 48720 (23%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is superior to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, though not by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti		112800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 18720 (17%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
