GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has a GPU core clock speed of 1500 MHz, and the 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory is set to run at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 1536 Stream Processors, 96 Texture Address Units, and 48 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 2055 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 2190 MHz on this specific card. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core 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 fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
