Here you are.

Of course, if you're reading further than that you probably see immediately that the 6700XT would be a better card... but NVidia still wins the duel in their ranking system by 1 point for some reason.

It says more weight is given to aspects voted as more important by users so my guess is it's due to factors like DLSS and the lower TDP contributing a lot. Still really dumb though.

That is one of the issues with TDP, people associate it with power consumption, when it simply isn't the case.

The 2070 and 6700XT have similar power draws of 206w vs 217w respectively.
But the AMD card will have 20ms power spikes to 321w verses the 2070's 217w, which is why it looks significantly more power hungry in charts.

And as we know, AMD's RDNA2 benefitted greatly from the Infinity cache, making the bandwidth numbers and memory bus widths non-comparable.
