GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 470

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 470, which has core speeds of 926 MHz on the GPU, and 1650 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Radeon RX 470		211200 MB/sec
	Difference: 132864 (63%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 will be quite a bit (about 38%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 470. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 470		118528 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 45272 (38%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 is a lot (approximately 121%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 470, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 470		29632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35888 (121%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
