GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon R9 380 2G

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 380 2G, which features a clock speed of 970 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1425 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It is made up of 1792 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 will be quite a bit (more or less 51%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 380 2G. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 380 2G		108640 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 55160 (51%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 380 2G		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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
