GeForce RTX 2060 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which has a clock frequency of 2321 MHz and a GDDR6 memory frequency of 2000 MHz. It also features a 192-bit bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2560 SPUs, 160 TAUs, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
	Difference: 70 Watts (44%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6700 XT should be just a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 49152 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is much (about 127%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 207560 (127%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is a lot (more or less 127%) more effective at AA than the GeForce RTX 2060, and should be able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83024 (127%)

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 data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video 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 most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. 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 ability to get to the max fill rate.
