GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1175 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 1024 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 560		80 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (119%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 560 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be a lot (more or less 166%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 124720 (166%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 75280 (400%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
