GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 6900 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1825 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this specific model. It features 5120 SPUs along with 320 TAUs and 128 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 6900 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (71%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 6900 XT should perform a little bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT is quite a bit (more or less 192%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 384080 (192%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should be a lot (more or less 148%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
