GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5700, which comes with GPU core speed of 1465 MHz, and 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM set to run at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2304 SPUs, 144 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so theoretically they should have the same performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5700 is a small bit (more or less 6%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 11040 (6%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is superior to the Radeon RX 5700, not by a very large margin though. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 320 (0%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number 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 calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
