	Difference: 49152 (14%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is a lot (approximately 127%) more effective at anisotropic 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 will be a lot (more or less 127%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060, and also 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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
