GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1825 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 2000 MHz on this particular card. It features 4608 SPUs as well as 288 Texture Address Units and 128 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 6800 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (71%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6800 XT should be 14% quicker than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a lot (about 163%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		525600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 325680 (163%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 XT is superior to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 139520 (148%)

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 past the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the 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 the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
