GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which has a core clock frequency of 1382 MHz and a HBM2 memory speed of 1890 MHz. It also features a 2048-bit bus, and makes use of a 14 nm design. It features 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		300 Watts
	Difference: 85 Watts (40%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super overall. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		495452 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 36700 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should be quite a bit (about 38%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		353792 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 96992 (38%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a small bit (about 16%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, and also should be able to handle higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		88448 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14272 (16%)

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 max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

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