GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon R9 380 4G

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 380 4G, which features a clock speed of 970 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1425 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1792 SPUs, 112 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Radeon R9 380 4G		182400 MB/sec
	Difference: 161664 (89%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 will be much (more or less 51%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 380 4G. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 380 4G		108640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 55160 (51%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be a lot (approximately 111%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 380 4G, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 380 4G		31040 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 34480 (111%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred 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, the result should be multiplied by 2 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 higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
