Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce RTX 2060 should theoretically be just a bit superior to the Radeon RX 6650 XT overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6650 XT		287072 MB/sec
	Difference: 56992 (20%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT is quite a bit (approximately 61%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 99240 (61%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 66000 (101%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core 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 is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
