GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Radeon RX 6900 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which features core speeds of 1825 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 5120 SPUs along with 320 Texture Address Units and 128 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		250 Watts
Radeon RX 6900 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (20%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6900 XT should be 3% faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER in general, due to its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		507904 MB/sec
	Difference: 16384 (3%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT will be much (about 84%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		316800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 267200 (84%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6900 XT is superior to the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER		105600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 128000 (121%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
