GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which has a core clock frequency of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		120 Watts
Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
	Difference: 40 Watts (33%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5600 XT is 17% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 49152 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT will be much (more or less 38%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 54000 (38%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT is a lot (about 22%) better at FSAA than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 16000 (22%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
