GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX Vega 64

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which features a clock frequency of 1247 MHz and a HBM2 memory frequency of 1890 MHz. It also uses a 2048-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It is made up of 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX Vega 64		295 Watts
	Difference: 120 Watts (69%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX Vega 64 should be 8% faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		495411 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 36659 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 will be much (about 60%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		319232 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 119312 (60%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is superior to the Radeon RX Vega 64, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX Vega 64		79808 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14272 (18%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output 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.
