GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 should be a little bit (more or less 6%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 11040 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, though not by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 320 (0%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed 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 one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
