GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1465 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2304 SPUs, 144 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

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 the exact same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should have the same performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 should be a small bit (more or less 6%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering 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

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be a bit (approximately 0%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 5700, and capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (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 largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
