GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 49152 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 XT should be a lot (approximately 38%) more effective at 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 will be quite a bit (approximately 22%) better at AA than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out 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 it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel 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.
