GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		294912 MB/sec
	Difference: 163840 (56%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super is quite a bit (approximately 39%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		144000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 55920 (39%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is superior to the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, by far. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti		72000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 22080 (31%)

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 maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. 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.
