GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 480 4GB

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 480 4GB, which features a clock speed of 1120 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It is comprised of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is much (approximately 24%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon RX 480 4GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 480 4GB		161280 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 38640 (24%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is quite a bit (about 163%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 480 4GB, and able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 480 4GB		35840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 58240 (163%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once 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 higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
