GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, which comes with a core clock frequency of 1680 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 2560 SPUs, 160 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		235 Watts
	Difference: 60 Watts (34%)

Memory Bandwidth

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition will be much (approximately 34%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 68880 (34%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be a little bit (about 14%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13440 (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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core 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 also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
