GeForce GTX 1050 3GB vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which comes with core 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 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		86016 MB/sec
	Difference: 372736 (433%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super will be quite a bit (approximately 199%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		66816 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 133104 (199%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be a lot (more or less 182%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GTX 1050 3GB, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 3GB		33408 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60672 (182%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 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 clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
