VS

GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2080

Intro

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super comes with clock speeds of 1470 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2176 SPUs as well as 136 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2080, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1515 MHz. The GDDR6 memory runs at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 2944 SPUs as well as 184 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 175 Watts
GeForce RTX 2080 215 Watts
Difference: 40 Watts (23%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same bandwidth, so in theory they should perform exactly the same. (explain)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 will be quite a bit (approximately 39%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 278760 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super 199920 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 78840 (39%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2080 is a little bit (approximately 3%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2080 96960 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super 94080 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 2880 (3%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range 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 calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
