GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specifications 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 memory. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (67%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be 72% faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 212992 (72%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be a lot (about 80%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 140800 (80%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is superior to the Radeon RX 5600, but only just. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once 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 high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core 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 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.
