GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2060 uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1365 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 1920 SPUs as well as 120 TAUs and 48 ROPs.

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which comes with GPU clock speed of 2055 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 2190 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 6650 XT 287072 MB/sec
Difference: 56992 (20%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT is quite a bit (more or less 61%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT 263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 163800 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 99240 (61%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is superior to the GeForce RTX 2060, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT 131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 65520 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 66000 (101%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory in a 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 - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
