GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon RX 570

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1650 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1937 MHz on this particular card. It features 3072 SPUs along with 192 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 570, which features a core clock speed of 1168 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon RX 570 229376 MB/sec
Difference: 278528 (121%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER should be quite a bit (about 112%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 570. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 316800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 570 149504 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 167296 (112%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 105600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 570 37376 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 68224 (183%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per 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 card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
