GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 2321 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this specific card. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be much (approximately 127%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 207560 (127%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will be much (about 127%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83024 (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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated 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 in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
