GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1175 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1024 SPUs, 64 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be quite a bit (approximately 241%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 181600 (241%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be quite a bit (more or less 446%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 560, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83920 (446%)

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 MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

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