GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 560, which has a clock speed of 1175 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 1024 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be quite a bit (more or less 118%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 560. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 88600 (118%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 will be much (about 249%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 560, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 46720 (249%)

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 information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units 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 applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
