GeForce GTX Titan vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

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

Radeon RX 6650 XT		176 Watts
GeForce GTX Titan		250 Watts
	Difference: 74 Watts (42%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX Titan should theoretically be just a bit better than the Radeon RX 6650 XT in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX Titan		288384 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6650 XT		287072 MB/sec
	Difference: 1312 (0%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT will be quite a bit (about 40%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX Titan. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		187488 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 75552 (40%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is superior to the GeForce GTX Titan, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX Titan		40176 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 91344 (227%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at 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 chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
