GeForce RTX 2070 Super vs Radeon RX 6800 XT

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1825 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 2000 MHz on this specific card. It features 4608 SPUs as well as 288 Texture Address Units and 128 Rasterization Operator Units.

GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6800 XT should be a lot (more or less 105%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		525600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 268800 (105%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6800 XT is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6800 XT		233600 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 130880 (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 transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
