GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 550

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 550, which comes with clock speeds of 1100 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 512 SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 550		50 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (250%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is 300% quicker than the Radeon RX 550 overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 550		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be quite a bit (about 468%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 550. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 550		35200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 164720 (468%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit (approximately 435%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 550, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 550		17600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 76480 (435%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

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