GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5600, which has core speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2048 SPUs as well as 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 25 Watts (17%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 163840 (56%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be just a bit (more or less 14%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 23920 (14%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is the winner, but only just. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6080 (7%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
