GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6800, which features core clock speeds of 1700 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon RX 6800		250 Watts
	Difference: 90 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX 6800 should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 180224 (52%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 is quite a bit (more or less 149%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 244200 (149%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 97680 (149%)

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 information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
