GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT, which has core speeds of 1605 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 5700 XT		225 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (29%)

Memory Bandwidth

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 XT should be a lot (about 28%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		256800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 56880 (28%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5700 XT is a better choice, but only just. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700 XT		102720 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8640 (9%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the 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 amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
