GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which comes with clock speeds of 1382 MHz on the GPU, and 1890 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		300 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (71%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should in theory perform a small bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super overall. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		495452 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 36700 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should be quite a bit (more or less 77%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		353792 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 153872 (77%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, though only just barely. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		88448 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5632 (6%)

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 transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it 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 applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. 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 rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
