GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 6950 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, which features a core clock speed of 1925 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2250 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 5120 SPUs, 320 TAUs, and 128 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 359200 (140%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT will be quite a bit (about 140%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		246400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 143680 (140%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
