GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs Radeon RX 6800

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6800, which features core speeds of 1700 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the 16384 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 3840 SPUs along with 240 Texture Address Units and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
Radeon RX 6800		250 Watts
	Difference: 75 Watts (43%)

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 6800 should theoretically perform a small bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		524288 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 will be a lot (more or less 104%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		408000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 208080 (104%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800		163200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 69120 (73%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
