GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 560, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 393216 (343%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is much (more or less 321%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 241600 (321%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the winner, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 86800 (462%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its 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 card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
