GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which uses a 12 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 1470 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific card. 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 Super		175 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (3%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be 75% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (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 is a lot (about 22%) better at texture 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 should be a small bit (more or less 9%) better at AA than the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the 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 can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

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