Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
Radeon R9 295X2		500 Watts
	Difference: 285 Watts (133%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 295X2 is 40% faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon R9 295X2		640000 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 181248 (40%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 295X2 should be much (more or less 40%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon R9 295X2		358336 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 101536 (40%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 295X2 should be quite a bit (more or less 27%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon R9 295X2		130304 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 27584 (27%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
