GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5700, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 35 Watts (19%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is much (about 22%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 45840 (22%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be a small bit (approximately 10%) more effective at AA than the Radeon RX 5700, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8960 (10%)

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 MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock 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 number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
