GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 6900 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which has a clock speed of 1825 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also makes use of a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 5120 SPUs, 320 Texture Address Units, and 128 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 6900 XT		300 Watts
	Difference: 125 Watts (71%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6900 XT is 14% faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should be a lot (about 192%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		584000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 384080 (192%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6900 XT should be much (approximately 148%) better at AA than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 6900 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 139520 (148%)

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 MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
