GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which comes with a core 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 made up of 4608 SPUs, 288 Texture Address Units, and 128 ROPs.

Radeon RX 6800 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 85 Watts (40%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 6800 XT should in theory be just a bit better than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT should be a lot (about 105%) more effective at texture filtering 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

The Radeon RX 6800 XT should be much (approximately 127%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, and will be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at 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 the video 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 number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
