Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 5700 should be 33% faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 114688 (33%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 is quite a bit (about 29%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 47160 (29%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 is a lot (approximately 43%) better at FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2060, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28240 (43%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
