GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon R7 250

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 250, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1150 MHz on this specific model. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 250		65 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (146%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce RTX 2060 should be a lot faster than the Radeon R7 250 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
Radeon R7 250		73600 MB/sec
	Difference: 270464 (367%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be quite a bit (more or less 583%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 250. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 250		24000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 139800 (583%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be quite a bit (approximately 719%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R7 250, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 250		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 57520 (719%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
