GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon R9 Nano

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Nano, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1000 MHz. The HBM RAM is set to run at a speed of 500 MHz on this card. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon R9 Nano		175 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (9%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon R9 Nano should theoretically perform a lot faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 overall. (explain)

Radeon R9 Nano		512000 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 167936 (49%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Nano will be quite a bit (about 56%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon R9 Nano		256000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 92200 (56%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 Nano		64000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1520 (2%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
