GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which comes with a clock frequency of 1605 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 60000 (23%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER will be a little bit (about 3%) better at AA than the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2880 (3%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
