GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 5600

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 5600, which features a core clock frequency of 1375 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1500 MHz. It also uses a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

The Radeon RX 5600 will be just a bit (approximately 7%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 12200 (7%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22480 (34%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock 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 rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
