GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon R9 M380

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M380, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1500 MHz on this model. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 2060 should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M380 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M380		96000 MB/sec
	Difference: 248064 (258%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 is quite a bit (about 310%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M380. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		40000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 123800 (310%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M380		16000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 49520 (310%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
