GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which features core speeds of 1382 MHz on the GPU, and 1890 MHz on the 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		300 Watts
	Difference: 140 Watts (88%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should be 44% faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		495452 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 151388 (44%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should be quite a bit (about 116%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		353792 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 189992 (116%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should be a lot (approximately 35%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		88448 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22928 (35%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
