Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (7%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is 17% quicker than the Radeon RX 6700 XT in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is a lot (more or less 45%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 114560 (45%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45824 (45%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
