GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600, which features a clock speed of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1500 MHz. It also features a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 25 Watts (17%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should in theory perform much faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 163840 (56%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be just a bit (more or less 14%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 23920 (14%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is superior to the Radeon RX 5600, but only just. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6080 (7%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. 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 fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
