VS

GeForce RTX 2070 vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2070 has clock speeds of 1410 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2070 175 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT 225 Watts
Difference: 50 Watts (29%)

Memory Bandwidth

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT will be much (about 26%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 203040 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 53760 (26%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT is superior to the GeForce RTX 2070, though only just barely. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 90240 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 12480 (14%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
