GeForce RTX 2060 Super vs GeForce RTX 2070

Intro

Compare that to the GeForce RTX 2070, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1410 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Both cards have the same power consumption.

Memory Bandwidth

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

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2070 should be a small bit (about 2%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2070		203040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3120 (2%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be a small bit (about 4%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce RTX 2070, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070		90240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 3840 (4%)

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 data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If 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 high 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 amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
