GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX Vega 64

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1247 MHz. The HBM2 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1890 MHz on this model. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon RX Vega 64		295 Watts
	Difference: 135 Watts (84%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX Vega 64 should in theory be quite a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		495411 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 151347 (44%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 should be quite a bit (about 95%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		319232 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 155432 (95%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX Vega 64 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		79808 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14288 (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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number 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 bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
