GeForce RTX 2060 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which has core speeds of 1470 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2176 SPUs along with 136 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060		160 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 15 Watts (9%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be 33% faster than the GeForce RTX 2060 in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		344064 MB/sec
	Difference: 114688 (33%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit (approximately 22%) more effective at AF than the GeForce RTX 2060. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		163800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 36120 (22%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060		65520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 28560 (44%)

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 transported across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 processed per second.

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