GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon R7 240

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super has a clock frequency of 1470 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 12 nm design. It features 2176 SPUs, 136 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 240, which comes with core speeds of 730 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 320 SPUs as well as 20 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 240 30 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super 175 Watts
Difference: 145 Watts (483%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be 1493% faster than the Radeon R7 240 overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 458752 MB/sec
Radeon R7 240 28800 MB/sec
Difference: 429952 (1493%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be much (more or less 1269%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 240 14600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 185320 (1269%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is superior to the Radeon R7 240, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 240 5840 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 88240 (1511%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
