GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6800, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1700 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 2000 MHz on this model. It features 3840 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 96 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 6800		250 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 6800 should in theory be just a bit better than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 will be quite a bit (approximately 104%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 208080 (104%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 69120 (73%)

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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
