GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which features GPU core speed of 1090 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 Stream Processors, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 140 Watts (187%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 460 2GB overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 346752 (310%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be a lot (more or less 321%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 460 2GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 195760 (321%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460 2GB		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 85280 (489%)

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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling 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 record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
