GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX Vega 64

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which features GPU core speed of 1247 MHz, and 8192 MB of HBM2 RAM set to run at 1890 MHz through a 2048-bit bus. It also is made up of 4096 Stream Processors, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon RX Vega 64		295 Watts
	Difference: 135 Watts (84%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX Vega 64 should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		495411 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 151347 (44%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 will be quite a bit (approximately 95%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		319232 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 155432 (95%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX Vega 64 is superior to the GeForce RTX 2060, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		79808 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14288 (22%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock 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 applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also 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 of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
