GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 470 4GB

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 470 4GB, which comes with core clock speeds of 926 MHz on the GPU, and 1650 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit (more or less 69%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 470 4GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 470 4GB		118528 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 81392 (69%)

Pixel Rate

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

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 470 4GB		29632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 64448 (217%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
