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

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, which has GPU core speed of 1680 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory 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 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 perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition should be much (about 34%) better at anisotropic filtering 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

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is the winner, though not by far. (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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
