Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon R9 280
IntroThe GeForce RTX 2060 has a GPU core clock speed of 1365 MHz, and the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM is set to run at 1750 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 1920 Stream Processors, 120 TAUs, and 48 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 280, which comes with a clock speed of 933 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1792 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2060 will be 43% quicker than the Radeon R9 280 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce RTX 2060 is quite a bit (approximately 57%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 280. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 is the winner, by far. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
