GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super has a GPU core clock speed of 1470 MHz, and the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM is set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2176 SPUs, 136 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6800, which features GPU clock speed of 1700 MHz, and 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 3840 SPUs, 240 TAUs, and 96 Raster Operation Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If 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, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. 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 lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
