Radeon RX 6650 XT		287072 MB/sec
	Difference: 171680 (60%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 32%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 63120 (32%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37440 (40%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This 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 graphics 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 could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). 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 get to the maximum fill rate.
