GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 6900 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1825 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this particular card. It features 5120 SPUs as well as 320 TAUs and 128 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 180224 (52%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should be quite a bit (about 257%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 420200 (257%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT is a lot (more or less 257%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 168080 (257%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. 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 output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
