GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1375 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1500 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also features 2304 Stream Processors, 144 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (9%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be 33% faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 114688 (33%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be a small bit (more or less 1%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1920 (1%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a small bit (about 7%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5600 XT, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		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 (measured in 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 its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should 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, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many 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.
