GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2060, which has GPU clock speed of 1365 MHz, and 6144 MB of GDDR6 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1920 Stream Processors, 120 Texture Address Units, and 48 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 81920 (31%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should be quite a bit (about 49%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 80464 (49%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will be a lot (more or less 57%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 37328 (57%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must 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 anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
