GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 5700, which features clock speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
	Difference: 35 Watts (19%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have exactly the same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super is a lot (more or less 22%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 45840 (22%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 Super will be a small bit (approximately 10%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8960 (10%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster 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 can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
