GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which comes with clock speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units 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

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be 56% faster than the Radeon RX 5600 overall, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a little bit (about 14%) better at AF 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 high levels of AA 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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
