GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6800, which comes with clock speeds of 1700 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 96 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
Radeon RX 6800		250 Watts
	Difference: 35 Watts (16%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6800 should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 is a lot (about 59%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 151200 (59%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60480 (59%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
