GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon VII, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1400 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM running at 1000 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also is made up of 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon VII		295 Watts
	Difference: 135 Watts (84%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon VII should in theory be quite a bit better than the GeForce RTX 2060 overall. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 704512 (205%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII will be quite a bit (approximately 105%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 172200 (105%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon VII is much (approximately 37%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 24080 (37%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
