GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which features a clock speed of 1605 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
	Difference: 65 Watts (41%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 5700 XT should perform much faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT should be quite a bit (more or less 57%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 93000 (57%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT should be quite a bit (about 57%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37200 (57%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen 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 clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
