GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon Pro Duo

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon Pro Duo, which has core clock speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 500 MHz on the 4096 MB of HBM RAM. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (40%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Pro Duo should be 102% quicker than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
	Difference: 516096 (102%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be much (about 62%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 195200 (62%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be quite a bit (about 21%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22400 (21%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type 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 better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
