GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 6800		250 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 6800, in theory, should be a little bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 should be much (approximately 104%) better at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 208080 (104%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is superior to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 69120 (73%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
