GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700, which comes with clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 35 Watts (19%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same memory bandwidth, so in theory they should perform the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is quite a bit (about 22%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 45840 (22%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a little bit (about 10%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon RX 5700, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8960 (10%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at 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 the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
