Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GT 1030		30 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 145 Watts (483%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be 833% quicker than the GeForce GT 1030 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GT 1030		49152 MB/sec
	Difference: 409600 (833%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be much (about 394%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 1030. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		40480 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 159440 (394%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit (about 365%) better at anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 1030, and able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 1030		20240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 73840 (365%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of 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 applied in a second.

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