GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 7900 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 7900 XT, which makes use of a 5 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1500 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 2500 MHz on this particular model. It features 5376 SPUs as well as 336 TAUs and 192 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 360448 (79%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 7900 XT should be much (approximately 96%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		504000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 247200 (96%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 7900 XT is superior to the GeForce RTX 2070 Super, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 7900 XT		288000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 185280 (180%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number 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 worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
