GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare all that to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which features GPU clock speed of 1470 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 RAM running at 1750 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 2176 Stream Processors, 136 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should theoretically be much superior to the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		262144 MB/sec
	Difference: 196608 (75%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should be a lot (approximately 22%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 44344 (22%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a little bit (approximately 9%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8768 (9%)

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 maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once 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 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 is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
