GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this specific model. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super should theoretically be a lot superior to the Radeon RX 5600 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 163840 (56%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be quite a bit (approximately 46%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 80800 (46%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is the winner, but not by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14720 (17%)

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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
