GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700, which comes with GPU core speed of 1465 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so in theory they should perform the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 is a little bit (more or less 6%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 11040 (6%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be just a bit (more or less 0%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 5700, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 320 (0%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill 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.
