GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which uses a 4 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 2310 MHz. The GDDR6X memory is set to run at a speed of 1313 MHz on this specific card. It features 7680 SPUs along with 240 Texture Address Units and 80 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2070		175 Watts
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		285 Watts
	Difference: 110 Watts (63%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should perform just a bit faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		516096 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 57344 (13%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (more or less 173%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 351360 (173%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be much (more or less 105%) more effective at AA than the GeForce RTX 2070, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 94560 (105%)

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 transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better 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 by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
