GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 460, which features a core clock speed of 1090 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is made up of 896 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 460		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (133%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is 310% quicker than the Radeon RX 460 in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
	Difference: 346752 (310%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is much (more or less 228%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 460. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 138880 (228%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit (more or less 439%) better at AA than the Radeon RX 460, and will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 76640 (439%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
