GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1605 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (29%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should have identical performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is quite a bit (about 28%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 56880 (28%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is a little bit (about 9%) more effective at AA than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8640 (9%)

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 max amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video 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 most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
