GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 550

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1605 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 550, which comes with a clock speed of 1100 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 14 nm design. It features 512 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super 458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 550 114688 MB/sec
Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be a lot (about 630%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 550. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super 256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 550 35200 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 221600 (630%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super should be a lot (approximately 484%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 550, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super 102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 550 17600 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 85120 (484%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
