GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super comes with a GPU clock speed of 1605 MHz, and the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM runs at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which has a clock frequency of 1825 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also features a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 7 nm design. It is comprised of 4608 SPUs, 288 Texture Address Units, and 128 Raster Operation Units.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super 458752 MB/sec
Difference: 65536 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT will be a lot (approximately 105%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT 525600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super 256800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 268800 (105%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT 233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super 102720 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 130880 (127%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
