GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

Compare those specs to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which makes use of a 12 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 1470 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2176 SPUs as well as 136 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		75 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super		175 Watts
	Difference: 100 Watts (133%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be 300% quicker than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti in general, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		114688 MB/sec
	Difference: 344064 (300%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit (approximately 223%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		61920 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 138000 (223%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super		94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti		41280 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 52800 (128%)

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 max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the 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 that the graphics card can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
