GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5600 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5600 XT, which comes with core speeds of 1375 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 6144 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (9%)

Memory Bandwidth

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

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 114688 (33%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a small bit (approximately 1%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5600 XT. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		198000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1920 (1%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600 XT		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 maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. 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 fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
