GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce RTX 2060 Super

Intro

The GeForce GTX 1060 comes with a GPU core speed of 1506 MHz, and the 6144 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 2000 MHz through a 192-bit bus. It also is made up of 1280 Stream Processors, 80 TAUs, and 48 ROPs.

Compare those specifications to the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, which has clock speeds of 1470 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2176 SPUs along with 136 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 1060 120 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super 175 Watts
Difference: 55 Watts (46%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be much faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 458752 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 1060 196608 MB/sec
Difference: 262144 (133%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be quite a bit (more or less 66%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 1060. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 199920 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1060 120480 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 79440 (66%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 94080 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1060 72288 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 21792 (30%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the 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 most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. 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 lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
