	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is 48% faster than the Radeon RX 5600 XT in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 163840 (48%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a lot (more or less 60%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 118800 (60%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be a bit (about 20%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon RX 5600 XT, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 17600 (20%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
