GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2060, which features a core clock frequency of 1365 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 1750 MHz. It also makes use of a 192-bit bus, and uses a 12 nm design. It is comprised of 1920 SPUs, 120 TAUs, and 48 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
	Difference: 85 Watts (113%)

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 2060 should in theory perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 229376 (200%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 should be a lot (about 165%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 101880 (165%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 is superior to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 24240 (59%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
