GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which features core clock speeds of 2055 MHz on the GPU, and 2190 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 24928 (10%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT should be just a bit (more or less 8%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 18776 (8%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT is quite a bit (about 28%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and also able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28672 (28%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated 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 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
