GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon VII

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2060 comes with clock speeds of 1365 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 Texture Address Units and 48 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all that to the Radeon VII, which features a clock frequency of 1400 MHz and a HBM2 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also uses a 4096-bit bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is made up of 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 160 Watts
Radeon VII 295 Watts
Difference: 135 Watts (84%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon VII should in theory perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 overall. (explain)

Radeon VII 1048576 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 344064 MB/sec
Difference: 704512 (205%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII is a lot (approximately 105%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon VII 336000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 163800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 172200 (105%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon VII will be much (more or less 37%) better at FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2060, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon VII 89600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 65520 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 24080 (37%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. 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 also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
