GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which comes with GPU core speed of 1968 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 2000 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 2048 Stream Processors, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce RTX 2060 should in theory be quite a bit better than the Radeon RX 6600 XT overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6600 XT		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 81920 (31%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT will be much (approximately 54%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		251904 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 88104 (54%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		125952 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60432 (92%)

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 data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core 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 rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
