VS

GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 480 4GB

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super has a GPU clock speed of 1470 MHz, and the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory runs at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2176 Stream Processors, 136 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which makes use of a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1120 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
