GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1375 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1500 MHz on this card. It features 2048 SPUs along with 128 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
	Difference: 10 Watts (7%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 should perform just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 49152 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a little bit (more or less 7%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12200 (7%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22480 (34%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out 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 video card will be at handling 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 card can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
